We discuss aspects of a covariant QCD modeling of meson physics by illustrating applications to several coupling constants and form factors. In particular, we cover the $\rho\pi\pi$ and $\pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ interactions, the $\rho$…
The effective quark models are employed to describe the hadronization of QCD in the quark sector. They reveal a different structure depending on how the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) is implemented. When the generation of light…
The role of the quark condensate in low-energy QCD and its behaviour in nuclear matter are discussed. Partial restoration of chiral symmetry, as indicated by a reduction of the quark condensate in matter, could significantly alter the…
Mesons as bound states of quark and anti-quark in the framework of a relativistic potential model are studied. Interaction of constituents in bound state is described by the Lorentz-scalar QCD inspired funnel-type potential with the…
