Consideration of the analytic properties of pion-induced baryon self energies leads to new functional forms for the extrapolation of light baryon masses. These functional forms reproduce the leading non-analytic behavior of chiral…
The formalism and applications of chiral perturbation theory for hadrons containing a single heavy quark are discussed. We emphasize the utility of working directly with the velocity dependent ``super'' fields which appear in the chiral…
The chiral quark model with a broken U(3) symmetry gives a simple and unified account for the proton spin and flavor puzzles, as well as the octet baryon magnetic moments.
We present the results of the first two-loop calculation of a form factor in full $SU(3) \times SU(3)$ Chiral Perturbation Theory. We choose a specific linear combination of $\pi^+, K^+, K^0$ and $K\pi$ form factors (the one appearing in…
We calculate the partonic structure of a constituent quark in the Next-to-Leading Order framework. The structure of any hadron can be obtained thereafter using a convolution method. Such a procedure is used to generate the structure…
Effective chiral restoration in the hadronic spectrum has been conjectured as an explanation of multiplets of nearly degenerate seen in highly excited hadrons. The conjecture depends on the states being insensitive to the dynamics of…
The hadronic weak decays of $\Lambda_c$ are studied in the framework of a constituent quark model. With the combined analysis of the Cabbibo-favored processes, $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda\pi^+$, $\Sigma^0\pi^+$ and $\Sigma^+\pi^0$, we confirm…
That chiral symmetry is a crucial feature of the strong force was realized before the discovery of Quantum Chromodynamics. However, the full power it exerts on the structure of the nucleon became apparent only afterwards. We present a…
In recent years, significant progress was reached in understanding of vacuum and hadronic structure. We review recent works on the {\it point-to-point correlation functions}, comparing those obtained from phenomenology, ``instanton liquid"…
The magnetic moments of spin ${1/2}{^+}$ and spin ${3/2}{^+}$ charmed baryons have been calculated in chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM). The effects of configuration mixing and quark masses have also been investigated. The results…
It is argued that an appearance of the near parity doublets in the upper part of the light baryon spectrum is an evidence for the chiral symmetry restoration in the regime where a typical momentum of quarks is around the chiral symmetry…
Spin-flavor fractions of quarks in the proton and several hyperons are obtained from their lowest order chiral fluctuations involving Goldstone bosons. SU(3) flavor breaking, relativistic effects and the axial anomaly are included. The…
Considering the magnetic moment and polarizabilities of the nucleon we emphasize the need for relativistic chiral EFT calculations. Our relativistic calculations are done via the forward-Compton-scattering sum rules, thus ensuring the…
We present our predictions for meson form factors for the SU(3) octet and investigate their impact on the pion electroproduction cross sections. The electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the SU(3) octet of mesons and baryons are…
In quantum systems with large $n$ (radial quantum number) or large angular momentum the semiclassical (WKB) approximation is valid. A physical content of the semiclassical approximation is that the quantum fluctuations effects are…
We calculate the partonic structure of constituent quark in the Next-to-Leading Order for the first time. The structure of any hadron can be obtained thereafter using a convolution method. Such a procedure is used to generate the structure…
We study the role of non-abelian anomalies in relativistic fluids. To this end, we compute the local functional that solves the anomaly equations, and obtain analytical expressions for the covariant currents and the Bardeen-Zumino terms. We…
We extend the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model to incorporate chiral symmetry. The relationship between the QMC model and chiral perturbation theory is also discussed. The nuclear central potential is modified by the effect of internal…
In this talk I review studies of hadron structure functions in bosonized chiral quark models. Such models require regularization and I show that the two--fold Pauli--Villars regularization scheme not only fully regularizes the effective…
The finite temperature chiral condensate for 2+1 quark flavors is considered in the framework of the hadron resonance gas model. This requires some dynamical information, for which two models are employed: one based on the quark structure…
