We construct an effective chiral Lagrangian for hadrons implemented by the conformal invariance and discuss the properties of nuclear matter at high density. The model is formulated based on two alternative assignment, "naive" and mirror,…
We study the SU(3)-invariant relevant deformation of D=4 N=4 SU(N) gauge theory at large N using the AdS/CFT correspondence. At low energies, we obtain a nonsupersymmetric gauge theory with three left-handed quarks in the adjoint of SU(N).…
A five dimensional model containing both left-right and quark-lepton symmetries is constructed, with the gauge group broken by a combination of orbifold compactification and the Higgs mechanism. An analysis of the gauge and scalar sectors…

We deform the interaction between nonrelativistic point particles on a plane and a Chern-Simons field to obtain an action invariant with respect to time-dependent area-preserving diffeomorphisms. The deformed and undeformed Lagrangians are…

We investigate whether a spontaneously-broken gauge theory of the group $SU(2,2)$ may be a genuine competitor to General Relativity. The basic ingredients of the theory are an $SU(2,2)$ gauge field $A_{\mu}$ and a Higgs field $W$ in the…
We argue that the spontaneous breakdown of symmetry in the chirally symmetric Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model which was supposed to illustrate the origin of the low mass of pions in hadron physics does not occur due to strong fluctuations in the…
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature. We expect that, above a certain critical temperature, also the U(1) axial symmetry will be (effectively) restored. We will try to see if…
We investigate the role of undetermined finite contributions generated by radiative corrections in a $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ linear sigma model with quarks. Although some of such terms can be absorbed in the renormalization procedure, one such…
The approximate symmetries of Quantum ChromoDynamics in the infinite heavy quark ($Q=c,b$) mass limit ($m_Q \to \infty$) and in the chiral limit for the light quarks ($m_q \to 0,\;q=\,u,\,d,\,s$) can be used together to build up an…
We compute the spectrum of SU(2) gauge theory with two, four or six Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. We investigate the scaling of the meson masses as a function of the quark mass when approaching the…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the DLCQ method is investigated in detail using a chiral Yukawa model closely related to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By classically solving three constraints characteristic of the light-front…
Within the framework of the path-integral formalism we reinvestigate the different methods of removing the unphysical degrees of freedom from spontanously broken gauge theories. These are: construction of the unitary gauge by gauge fixing;…
