We consider the method due to Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina, and Tyutin (BFFT) that makes the conversion of second-class constraints into first-class ones for the case of nonlinear theories. We first present a general analysis of an attempt to…
The SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion in up, down and strange quark masses is extended from hadron masses to meson decay constants. This allows a determination of the ratio of kaon to pion decay constants in QCD. Furthermore when…
We show that a heavy fermion superconductor UPt_3 is a topological Weyl superconductor with tunable Weyl nodes. Adopting a generic order parameter in the E_2u representation allowed by nonsymmorphic crystal symmetry, we clarify unusual gap…
In the recent years, fruitful results on charmed baryons are obtained by BESIII, Belle and LHCb. We investigate the two-body non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons in the flavor $SU(3)$ symmetry. Hundreds of amplitude relations are clearly…
This is the first in a series of two papers. We use the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism to derive semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations for massive chiral fermions and scalar particles. Our considerations include complex mass terms and…
We present a new analysis of B_d,s -> KK modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of sum rules for B_d,s -> K^0 \bar K^0 observables. We determine…
The class of higher-dimensional scenarios, based on a brane-localised Higgs boson coupled to bulk fermions, can address both the flavour puzzle and gauge hierarchy problem. A key question arises due to the possibility of fermion profile…
The semiclassical SU(3) Skyrme model is traditionally considered as describing a rigid quantum rotator with the profile function being fixed by the classical solution of the corresponding SU(2) Skyrme model. In contrast, we go beyond the…
We analyze the quasi-two-body charmed $B$ decays $B^{+,0}_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^* P_2 \to D_{(s)} P_1 P_2$ with $P_{1,2}$ as a pion or kaon. The intermediate processes $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^* P_2 $ are calculated with the factorization-assisted…
Considering simultaneously isospin and SU(3) flavor symmetry breakings, we investigate the complete mass splittings of SU(3) baryons within a chiral soliton model, a {}"model-independent approach" being employed. In linear order several new…
We investigate baryon-baryon (BB) interactions in the flavor SU(3) symmetric world, by using the 3-flavor full QCD simulations. In the SU(3) limit, six independent two-baryon states exist for a given orbital angular momentum. We forcus on…
Present evidence on baryon axial--vector couplings is reviewed, the main emphasis being on internal consistency between asymmetry and rate data. A complete account of all {\sl small} terms in the Standard Model description of these latter…
This review is devoted to the application of bosonization techniques to two dimensional QCD. We start with a description of the ``abelian bosonization". The methods of the abelian bosonization are applied to several examples like the…
We study thermodynamics of free SU(N) gauge theory with a large number of colours and flavours on a three-sphere, in the presence of a baryon number chemical potential. Reducing the system to a holomorphic large-N matrix integral, paying…
Mesonic fluctuations around the chiral solitons are investigated in the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model. Since the soliton takes the non-hedgehog shape for the hyperons and the hedgehog one for the non-hedgehog baryons in our approach, the…
We present an update of our ongoing study of the SU(2) gauge theory with one flavor of Dirac fermion in the adjoint representation. Compared to our previous results we now have data at larger lattice volumes, smaller values of the fermion…
We study the constraint structure of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model in the framework of the Lagrangian, symplectic, Hamilton-Jacobi as well as the Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin embedding procedure.
Unlike the octet baryons for $N_f=3$, there is no skyrmion coming from the $\eta^\prime$ meson. It is instead described as a fractional quantum Hall droplet, a pancake or a pita involving a singular $\eta^\prime$ ring in which Chern-Simons…
We investigate the transition between spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and conformal behavior in the SU(3) theory with multiple fermion flavors. We propose a new strategy for studying this transition. Instead of changing the number of…
The procedure for Abelian conversion of second class constraints due to Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina and Tyutin is considered at quantum level, by using the field-antifield formalism. It is argued that quantum effects can obstruct the…
