We discuss various aspects of pion physics in the nuclear medium. We first study s-wave pion-nucleus interaction in connection with chiral symmetry restoration and quark condensate in the nuclear medium. We then adress the question of…
The $\eta'$ mass reduction in the nuclear medium is expected from the degeneracy of the pseudoscalar-singlet and octet mesons when chiral symmetry is manifest. In this study, we investigate the $\eta'N$ 2body interaction which is the…
We investigate the bulk properties of symmetric nuclear matter within the framework of an in-medium modified chiral solitonic model with $\pi$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons. We consider the modification of meson degrees of freedom in nuclear…
Partial restoration in nuclear matter of the chiral symmetry of QCD is discussed together with some of its possible signals. Estimates of corrections to the leading, linear dependence of the quark condensate are found to be small, implying…
In this lecture, I review progress made in the calculations of the parity-violating meson-nucleon interaction regions. The underlying framework is the topological chiral soliton model of the nucleon. Emphasis is put on the computation of…
This review of the quark-level linear \sigma model is based upon the dynamical realization of the pseudoscalar and scalar mesons as a linear representation of SU(2) x SU(2) chiral symmetry, with the symmetry weakly broken by current quark…
Using SU(3) chiral perturbation theory we calculate the density-dependent complex mean field $U_\Sigma(k_f)+ i W_\Sigma(k_f)$ of a $\Sigma$-hyperon in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter. The leading long-range $\Sigma N $-interaction arises…
The constraints imposed by chiral symmetry on hadron correlation functions in nuclear medium are discussed. It is shown that these constraints implies the certain structure of the in-medium hadron correlators and lead to the cancellation of…
We construct a model to describe dense hadronic matter at zero and finite temperature, based on the parity doublet model of DeTar and Kunihiro, with including the iso-singlet scalar meson $\sigma$ as well as $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons. We…
A previously introduced relativistic energy density functional, successfully applied to ordinary nuclei, is extended to hypernuclei. The density-dependent mean field and the spin-orbit potential are consistently calculated for a $\Lambda$…
We employ the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential derived in ref.[1] to study bound and scattering states in the two-nucleon system. At next-to-leading order, this potential is the sum of renormalized one-pion and two-pion exchange and contact…
In this review we report on advances in topological soliton models of the nucleon. In chapter I we construct an effective lagrangian of QCD with the low mass mesons ($\pi,\rho,A_1$ and the scalar meson $\epsilon$) generalising the Skyrme…
We introduce an effective chiral Lagrangian with a dilaton responsible for the trace anomaly in QCD. As the "dilaton limit" is taken, which drives a system to near chiral restoration density, a linear sigma model emerges from the highly…
The equation of state of a family of alternative linear chiral models in the mean field approximation is discussed. We investigate the analogy between some of these models with current models in the literature, and we show that it is…
The mass spectra of nucleon resonances with spin 1/2, 3/2, and 5/2 are systematically studied in the constituent quark model with meson-quark coupling, which is inspired by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry of QCD. The meson-quark…
A lagrangian which describes interactions between a soliton and a background field is derived for sigma models whose target is a symmetric space. The background field modifies the usual moduli space approximation to soliton dynamics in two…
First, it is pointed out that hadron/nuclear physics based on QCD should be regarded as ``condensed matter physics'' of the QCD vacuum. We indicate that phase shift analyses which respect chiral symmetry (ChS), analyticity and crossing…
We present a chiral effective model which exhibits all the known symmetry features of the QCD Lagrangian. The extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM) includes (pseudo-)scalar and (axial-) vector mesons, glueballs, and baryons. It has proven to…
We extend a chiral effective field theory approach to the $\Lambda$-nuclei interaction with the inclusion of the decuplet baryons. More precisely, we study the contributions due to the long-range two-pion exchange, with $\Sigma$ and…
The electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon are calculated in an extended chiral constituent-quark model where the effective interaction is described by the exchange of pseudoscalar, vector, and scalar mesons. Two-body current-density…
