The Chiral Quark-Soliton Model of nucleons is based on two ideas: 1) the major role of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in hadron physics and 2) the relevance of the large number of colours limit for the real world. In these lectures I…
Three instances are discussed in which results produced by chiral perturbation theory can be reliably pushed to high space-like values of transferred momenta: 1. nuclear interactions, 2. nucleon sigma-term and 3. space-like structure of the…
The properties of nuclear matter and the structures of neutron stars are analyzed with a baryonic extended linear sigma model in mean-field approximation, where the masses of baryons and mesons are generated via the spontaneous chiral…
Nuclei can be described satisfactorily in a nonlinear chiral SU(3)-framework, even with standard potentials of the linear $\sigma$-model. The condensate value of the strange scalar meson is found to be important for the properties of nuclei…
We consider chiral perturbation theory with an explicit broad $\sigma$-meson and study its contribution to the scalar form factors of the pion and the nucleon. Our goal is to learn more about resonance saturation in the scalar sector.
We review the chiral variant and invariant components of nucleon masses and its consequence on the chiral restoration in extreme conditions, neutron star matter in particular. We consider a model of linear realization of chiral symmetry…
Two-meson-exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials are derived where either one or both nucleons contains a pair vertex. Physically, the meson-pair vertices are meant to describe in an effective way (part of) the effects of heavy-meson exchange…
The so-called extended linear sigma model is a chiral model with (pseudo)scalar and (axial-)vector mesons. It is based on the requirements of (global) chiral symmetry and dilatation invariance. The purpose of this model is the description…
We study the modification of the nucleon nucleon interaction in a nuclear medium in the scalar isoscalar channel, mediated by the exchange of two correlated ($\sigma$ channel) or uncorrelated pions. For this purpose we use a standard…
The role of chiral symmetry in nuclear physics is summarized. The topics treated are the chiral bag model for nucleon structure resulting from large $N_c$ QCD, the pion cloud in chiral perturbation theory for low-energy electroweak nuclear…
It has been argued that the iso-scalar and iso-vector mesons play significant roles in nuclear matter and neutron star structures. We improve the extended linear sigma model with baryons, proposed in our previous work, by introducing the…
We investigate the properties of different modifications to the linear $\sigma$-model (including a dilaton field associated with broken scale invariance) at finite baryon density $\rho$ and nonzero temperature $T$. The explicit breaking of…
The chiral nonlinear ($\sigma,\pi,\omega$) mean-field model is an extension of the conserving nonlinear (nonchiral) $\sigma$-$\omega$ hadronic mean-field model which is thermodynamically consistent, relativistic and Lorentz-covariant…
We study a chiral relativistic theory of nuclear matter aimed at the desciption of both the binding and saturation properties and the QCD properties, quark condensate and QCD susceptibilities. For this purpose the nucleon scalar response of…
Recent advances in the development of a chiral linear $\sigma$-model with (axial-)vector mesons are presented. The model is based on the basic requirements of global chiral symmetry and dilatation invariance. The role of (axial-)vector…
We apply the approximating chiral quark model. This chiral quark model is based on an effective Lagrangian which the interactions between quarks via sigma and pions mesons. The field equations have been solved in the mean field…

We point out that the study of the density dependences of the masses of heavy-light mesons give some clues to the chiral symmetry structure in nuclear matter. We include the omega meson effect as well as the sigma meson effect at mean field…
Using an extended parity doublet model with the hidden local symmetry, we study some properties of nuclei in the mean field approximation to see if the parity doublet model could reproduce nuclear properties and also to estimate the value…
