The chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM) has been extended to calculate the flavor structure of the nucleon through the meson-nucleon sigma terms which have large contributions from the quark sea and are greatly affected by chiral…
Quantum Hall skyrmions are quantized solitons of a ferromagnetic O(3) sigma-model. The reference, classical, solutions depend upon the interaction between the electrons and exhibit completely different asymptotic profiles for the physical…
Linear response theory for SU(2) hedgehog soliton models is developed.
Solutions to the SU(2) monopole equations in the Bogolmony limit are constructed that look very much like Bolognesi's conjectured magnetic bag solutions. Three theorems are also stated and proved that give bounds in terms of the topological…
Some mysterious features of the strong interactions become easily understood if our usual QCD with N=3 is `close to' SU(oo) and if the latter theory is confining. N=oo theories are theoretically simpler; in particular there has been much…
A familiar anomaly affects SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions: a theory with an odd number of fermion multiplets in the spin 1/2 representation of the gauge group, and more generally in representations of spin 2r+1/2, is inconsistent. We…
The strange form factors of baryon octet are evaluated, in the chiral models with the general chiral SU(3) group structure, to yield the theoretical predictions comparable to the recent experimental data of SAMPLE Collaboration and to study…
In this paper the author discuss the relation between Lagrangian Floer homology and Gauge-theory (Donaldson theory) Floer homology. It can be regarded as a version of Atiyah-Floer type conjecture in the case of $SO(3)$-bundle with…
In this paper the stability of the hedgehog shape of the chiral soliton is studied for the octet baryon with the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model. The strangeness degrees of freedom are treated by a simplified bound-state approach, which…
Complete topological classification of solutions in SO(3) symmetric Ginzburg-Landau free energy has been performed and a new class of solutions in weak external magnetic field carrying two units of magnetic flux has been identified. These…
We investigate the conjectural relations between the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten quantum SU(2) invariants and the volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Given a finite set of sufficiently large positive integers, say J, we construct examples of…
Dibaryons provide insight into the strong interaction beyond conventional hadrons. Strange dibaryons, containing strange quarks, are especially valuable for probing hyperon-nucleon (YN) and hyperon-hyperon (YY) interactions. We report…
We report on further progress in our programme of understanding confinement in 3d and 4d SU(2) gauge theory in terms of Z(2) monopoles. A sufficient condition for confinement was previously translated into Z(2) monopole correlation…
In this contribution we discuss the physics of strange hadrons in low energy ($\simeq 1-2 \rm AGeV$) heavy ion collision. In this energy range the relevant strange particle are the kaons and anti-kaons. The most interesting aspect…
The spherical vortex as introduced in [Phys. Rev. D77, 014515 (2008)] is generalized. A continuum form of the spherical vortex is derived and investigated in detail. The discrepancy between the gluonic lattice topological charge and the…
The corrections to the Gell-Mann-Okubo relations of baryon-masses are presented in the SU(3) Skyrme model. These corrections are calculated up to the second order in flavor breaking at the skyrmion quantum mechanics. The results are…
The spectra of strange hadrons have been measured in detail as a function of centrality for a variety of collision systems and energies at RHIC. Recent results are presented and compared to those measured at the SPS. The effects of the…
We study the Higgs branch of the SCFT limit of 5d SO(6) and SO(8) gauge theory with hypermultiplets in the spinor and vector representations. In the case of SO(6) gauge theories, we contrast the magnetic quivers obtained with those of SU(4)…
Using N=2 Landau-Ginzburg theories, we examine the recent conjectures relating the SU(3) WZW modular invariants, finite subgroups of SU(3) and Gorenstein singularities. All isolated three-dimensional Gorenstein singularities do not appear…
A self-consistent large $N_c$ approach is developed for the collective quantization of SU(3) flavor hedgehog solitons, such as the Skyrmion. The key to this analysis is the determination of all of the zero modes associated with small…
