In our previous article Phys. Rev. Lett. 127 (2021) 271601, we announced a novel 'democratic' Lagrangian formulation of general nonlinear electrodynamics in four dimensions that features electric and magnetic potentials on equal footing.…
At low energies, the strong interaction is governed by the Goldstone bosons associated with the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, which can be systematically described by chiral perturbation theory. In this paper, we apply this theory…
These lectures provide an introduction to the low-energy dynamics of Nambu-Goldstone fields, associated with some spontaneous (or dynamical) symmetry breaking, using the powerful methods of effective field theory. The generic symmetry…
Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the breaking of the chiral symmetry in QCD using a simple five dimensional model. The model gives definite predictions for the spectrum of vector mesons, their decay constants and interactions as…
We construct the effective Lagrangian describing QCD in the multi-Regge kinematics. It is obtained from the original QCD Lagrangian by eliminating modes of gluon and quark fields not appearing in this underlying kinematics.

We analyze the vacuum structure of SU(2) QCD with multiple massless adjoint representation fermions formulated on a small spatial $S^1 \times \R^3$. The absence of thermal fluctuations, and the fact that quantum fluctuations favoring the…
Using a manifestly gauge-invariant approach we show that the set of low-energy constants in the electroweak chiral Lagrangian currently used in the literature is redundant. In particular, by employing the equations of motion for the gauge…
In earlier publications we have analyzed the strong and radiative decays of heavy hadrons in a formalism which incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. In particular, we have derived a heavy-hadron chiral Lagrangian whose…
We derive the ten-dimensional effective action of the strongly coupled heterotic string as the low energy limit of M-theory on S^1/Z_2. In contrast to a conventional dimensional reduction, it is necessary to integrate out nontrivial heavy…
We show that QCD undergoes dimensional reduction at high temperatures also in the quark sector. In the kinematic region relevant to screening physics, where the lowest Matsubara modes are close to their ``mass-shells'', all static Green's…
The systematic effective Lagrangian method was first formulated in the context of the strong interaction: chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) is the effective theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). It was then pointed out that the method can…
We evaluate the classical action and the effective tachyon potential of open string field theory within KBc subalgebra, which is extensively used in analytic solution for tachyon condensation recently found by Erler and Schnabl. It is found…
A new method of deriving the Higgs Lagrangian from vector-like gauge theories is explored. After performing a supersymmetric extension of gauge theories we identify the auxiliary field associated with the "meson" superfield, in the low…
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of the violation of discrete space-time symmetries in hadronic and nuclear systems. We focus on parity-violating and time-reversal-conserving interactions which are induced by the…
We derive and study a class of cosmological and wormhole solutions of low-energy effective string field theory. We consider a general four-dimensional string effective action where moduli of the compactified manifold and the electromagnetic…
In lattice QCD it is possible, in principle, to determine the parameters in the effective chiral lagrangian (including weak interaction couplings) by performing numerical simulations in the $\epsilon$--regime, i.e. at quark masses where the…
A chiral invariant effective action for lattice QCD is proposed. Its connection to the multifermion model is established. A possibility of using this action for computer simulations is discussed.
This is a revised version of a talk given at the Chiral Dynamics Workshop at M.I.T., July 25, 1994. It reports results in three areas: (1) The isospin-violating interactions between one non-relativistic nucleon and any number of soft pions…
There is a growing amount of evidence that QCD (and four-dimensional gauge theories in general) possess a hidden symmetry which does not exhibit itself as a symmetry of classical Lagrangians but is only revealed on the quantum level. In…
