A personal overview on the present status of SU(3) chiral perturbation theory in the baryonic sector is given. Recent developments are presented and remaining challenges are pointed out.
In this talk, I address the comparison between results from lattice QCD computations and Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). I briefly discuss how ChPT can be adapted to the much-used quenched approximation and what it tells us about the…

We want to test the predictive power of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In this work, we use the ChPT pion-pion scattering amplitude, including two loop contributions, and we obtain S- and P-wave low-energy phase shifts. We show that, by…
We develop Chiral Perturbation Theory for chirally broken theories with fermions in two different representations of the gauge group. Any such theory has a non-anomalous singlet $U(1)_A$ symmetry, yielding an additional Nambu-Goldstone…
The main aspects of chiral symmetry in QCD are presented. The necessity of its spontaneous breakdown is explained. Some low-energy theorems are reviewed. The role of chiral effective Lagrangians in the formulation and realization of chiral…

The chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) of pions is extended to include vector mesons as well as pertinent degrees of freedom. By counting the typical momentum scale of vector mesons as order of $Q$ and vector meson masses as of the order of…

We study the temperature evolution of the quark-antiquark condensate below the chiral phase transition. The hadronic gas is described using a virial expansion within Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory. In such way, we can implement both…
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
In these lectures, the status of baryon chiral perturbation theory is reviewed. Particular emphasis is put on the two--flavor sector and the physics related to electromagnetic probes. I discuss in some detail the structure of the effective…
We study the structure and perform some explicit calculations for the power ultraviolet divergences and their renormalization in the Chiral Pertubation Theory with lattice regularization in 1 and 2 loops.
This paper is dedicated to give a concise introduction to the theory of causal fermion systems. After putting the theory of causal fermion systems into the historical context, we recall fundamental physical preliminaries. Afterwards, we…
I describe the methodology for the use of dispersion relations in connection with chiral perturbation theory. The conditions for matching the two formalisms are given at $O(E^2)$ and $O(E^4)$. The two have several complementary features, as…
Chiral perturbation theory can be defined and regularized on a spacetime lattice. A few motivations are discussed here, and an explicit lattice Lagrangian is reviewed. A particular aspect of the connection between lattice chiral…
We describe how one can use chiral perturbation theory to obtain results for physical quantities, such as quark masses, using partially quenched simulations.
Based on an effective chiral theory of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons, the coefficients of the chiral perturbation theory are predicted. There is no new parameter in these predictions.
We argue that the difficulties associated with the convergence properties of conventional SU(3) chiral perturbation theory can be ameliorated by use of a cutoff, which suppresses the model-dependent short distance effects in such…
