We consider the axial-vector form factors of the baryon octet in flavor-SU(3) chiral perturbation theory. The baryon octet and decuplet and the pseudoscalar-meson octet are included as explicit degrees of freedom. We explore the use of…
Electromagnetic decays of the scalar mesons are shown to be constrained by chiral symmetry as a consequence of the fact that, in the chiral limit, the two and three-point functions $<SS-PP>$ and $<VVS>$ satisfy super-convergent dispersion…
The CP violating parameter epsilon'/epsilon is computed using the low-energy dynamics of a chiral theory supplemented by vector resonances. The divergent contributions coming from strong pi-pi scattering are tamed by vector-meson exchange…

The hypothesis is scrutinized that the weak interaction of hadronic systems at low energies is dominated by the coupling of the pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons to the weak gauge bosons. The strength of the weak coupling of the…
We explore the link between the chiral symmetry of QCD and the numerical results of the light-front quark model, analyzing both the two-point and three-point functions of the pion. Including the axial-vector coupling as well as the…
A role of the axial vector mesons, such as $K_1$ and $a_1$, on the emitted photon spectrum in hot hadronic matter is studied through the channels $\pi \rho \to a_1 \to \pi \gamma$ and $K \rho \to K_1 \to K \gamma$. They are shown to be…
Unusual constituent quark axial current couplings to light vector mesons, $\rho$ and $\omega$, are derived in the vacuum and under weak magnetic field by considering a quark-antiquark interaction mediated by a non perturbative gluon…
We construct the full axial current of the constituent quarks by a summation of the infinite number of diagrams describing constituent-quark soft interactions. By requiring that the conservation of this current is violated only by terms of…
We study the transition form factors of the light mesons in the kinematics, where one photon is real and other is virtual. Using the dispersive approach to axial anomaly we show that the axial anomaly in this case reveals itself as a…
Basic features of nonstrange vector and axial vector mesons are analyzed in the framework of a chiral quark model that includes nonlocal four fermion couplings. Unknown model parameters are determined from some input values of masses and…
We discussed the possibility that the charged axial currents of matter fields could be non-conserved in electromagnetic interaction at $O(e) $ order. It means that chiral symmetry is broken explicitly by electromagnetic interaction. This…
We analyse the hadronization structure of both vector and axial-vector currents leading to tau -> KKpi nu_tau decays. At leading order in the 1/Nc expansion, and considering only the contribution of the lightest resonances, we work out,…
