In this paper I review the theoretical progresses in studying the diffractive DIS in the colour--dipole approach.
The electric field of light induces--in a non centrosymmetric insulator--a dc current, quadratic in the field magnitude, and called "shift current". When addressed from a many-electron viewpoint, the shift current has a simple explanation…

This is a brief report of work performed in arXiv:1106.3576. We consider the chiral transport terms in a relativistic charged superfluid, and their relation to triangle anomalies. The terms allowed by the Second Law of thermodynamics have…
We analyze the chiral symmetries of flavored quantum chromodynamics in two dimensions and show the existence of chiral condensates within the path-integral approach. The massless and massive cases are discussed as well, for arbitrary finite…

We construct the chiral perturbation theory for two-color QCD with two quark flavors as an effective theory on the SO(6)/SO(5) coset space. This formulation turns out to be particularly useful for extracting the physical content of the…
Chiral perturbation theory and its unitarized versions have played an important role in our understanding of the low-energy strong interaction. Yet, so far, such studies typically deal exclusively with perturbative or nonperturbative…
I describe recent progress towards a theory of the NN force which captures the consequences of QCD's chiral symmetry and the pattern of its breaking, and is formulated as an expansion in a ratio of low and high mass scales, M_{lo}/M_{hi}.…
