The radiative decays of heavy mesons and heavy baryons are studied in a formalism which incorporates both the heavy quark symmetry and the chiral symmetry. The chiral Lagrangians for the electromagnetic interactions of heavy hadrons consist…

The approximate symmetries of Quantum ChromoDynamics in the infinite heavy quark ($Q=c,b$) mass limit ($m_Q \to \infty$) and in the chiral limit for the light quarks ($m_q \to 0,\;q=\,u,\,d,\,s$) can be used together to build up an…

Quark-meson duality for two-point functions of vector and axial-vector QCD currents is investigated in the large-Nc approximation. We find that the joint constraints of duality and chiral symmetry imply degeneracy of excited vector and…

We consider the constraints that critical dynamics places on models with a top quark condensate or strong extended technicolor (ETC). These models require that chiral-symmetry-breaking dynamics at a high energy scale plays a significant…

Parameters of the effective chiral lagrangian (EChL) of orders $O(p^4)$ and $O(p^6)$ are extracted from low--energy behaviour of dual resonance models for $ \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$ scattering amplitudes. Dual resonance models are considered to…

Using an effective Lagrangian approach based on heavy quark symmetry and chiral dynamics, we explore the strong decay widths and branching ratios of various resonances and suggest their JP find the coupling constants involved in the strong…

QCD in a five-dimensional sliced bulk with chiral extra-quarks on the boundaries is generically free from the strong CP problem. Accidental axial symmetry is naturally present except for suppressed breaking interactions, which plays a role…

The spontaneous breakdown of the chiral symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian ensures that $\pi\pi$ interactions are weak at low energies. How weak depends on the nature of explicit symmetry breaking. Measurements of $K_{e4}$ decays at DA$\Phi$NE…

The effective quark models with quasilocal interaction are used for description of two composite Higgs doublets, in strong coupling (tricritical) regime below the compositeness scale \Lambda_{C}. The low energy effective action of Two-Higgs…

If the SM Higgs boson does not exist, electroweak symmetry breaking may be realized via a strong interaction with a typical scale Lambda > 1 TeV. Resonances from the strong sector may help to unitarize WW scattering, which becomes strong in…

Taking the effective interaction between a quark and an anti-quark from previous work, the dependendence on a regularization scale is removed in line with the renormalization group. In order to emphasize the essential point, the full spinor…

We investigate the quark mass dependence of meson and baryon masses obtained from 2+1 flavor dynamical quark simulations performed by the PACS-CS Collaboration. With the use of SU(2) and SU(3) chiral perturbation theories up to NLO, we…

A recently proposed variational mass expansion approach to dynamical chiral symmetry breakdown is reviewed. We briefly explain how a specific integral ansatz over the analytically continued, arbitrary Lagrangian mass parameter, resums the…

We apply to lattice QCD a bosonization method previously developed in which dynamical bosons are generated by time-dependent Bogoliubov transformations. The transformed action can be studied by an expansion in the inverse of the nilpotency…

We apply different types of overlap operators in quenched QCD simulations to compute the zero mode contribution to the pseudo-scalar correlator. In particular we use the conventional Neuberger Dirac operator and the overlap hypercube Dirac…

Starting from a relativistic Lagrangian for pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons and vector mesons in the antisymmetric tensor representation, a one-loop calculation is performed to pin down the divergent structures that appear for the effective…

We consider chiral perturbation theory in a finite volume and in a mixed regime of quark masses. We take N_l light quarks near the chiral limit, in the so-called epsilon-regime, while the remaining N_h quarks are heavier and in the standard…

We investigate the phase structure of QCD with 3 degenerate quark flavors as function of the degenerate quark masses at vanishing baryon number density. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quarks on lattices with temporal extent $N_{t}=6$…
