The chiral limit of finite-volume QCD is the $\epsilon$-regime of the theory. We discuss how this regime can be used for determining low-energy observables of QCD by means of comparisons between lattice simulations and quenched and…
Using the nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equation, we show that chiral symmetry is dynamically broken in QED at weak couplings when an external magnetic field is present, and that chiral symmetry is restored at temperatures above $T_c…
We find the finite volume QCD partition function for arbitrary quark masses. This is a generalization of a result obtained by Leutwyler and Smilga for equal quark masses. Our result is derived in the sector of zero topological charge using…
Unphysical effects associated with finite lattice spacing and partial quenching generally lead to to the presence of unphysical terms in chiral extrapolation formulae, which must be removed to make physical predictions. We use mixed action…

In (2+1)-dimensional QED with a Chern-Simons term, we study dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry, using the Dyson--Schwinger equation for the fermions. There is a region in parameter space were dynamical chiral symmetry breaking occurs,…

We develop quenched chiral perturbation theory for vector mesons made of light quarks, in the limit where the vector meson masses are much larger than the pion mass. We use this theory to extract the leading nonanalytic dependence of the…
We develop a scheme for the extraction of the properties of the scalar mesons $f_0(600)$, $f_0(980)$, and $a_0(980)$ from lattice QCD data. This scheme is based on a two-channel chiral unitary approach with fully relativistic propagators in…
