The hypothesis is scrutinized that the weak interaction of hadronic systems at low energies is dominated by the coupling of the pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons to the weak gauge bosons. The strength of the weak coupling of the…

The relativistic density functional with minimal density dependent nucleon-meson couplings for nuclei and nuclear matter is extended to include tensor couplings of the nucleons to the vector mesons. The dependence of the minimal couplings…
In the context of the description of how the vortical motion, produced in peripheral heavy-ion collisions, is transferred to the spin of hadrons, we compute the $\sigma$-meson propagator at finite temperature and baryon density. This…
We calculate the effective mass m_\omega^* of the \omega-meson in nuclear medium by the \sigma-\omega model with a vector field self-interaction (VFSI). We found that the direct and the indirect effects of the VFSI almost cancel each other…
We calculate the magnetic moments of hyperons in dense nuclear matter by using relativistic quark models. Hyperons are treated as MIT bags, and the interactions are considered to be mediated by the exchange of scalar and vector mesons which…
We analyze the production of $\rho$-mesons in $p + A$ reactions including both the production by proton-nucleon as well as pion-nucleon collisions within a coupled channel transport approach. The final state interactions of the $\rho$-meson…

The presence of baryonic matter leads to the mixing between transverse $\rho$ and $a_1$ mesons through a set of $\omega\rho a_1$-type interactions, which results in the modification to the dispersion relation. We show that a clear…
The $\phi$ meson spectrum, which in vacuum is dominated by its coupling to the $\bar{K} K$ system, is modified in nuclear matter. Following a model based on chiral SU(3) dynamics we calculate the $\phi$ meson selfenergy in nuclear matter…
In this talk we present a short review of recent developments concerning the interaction of vector mesons with baryons and with nuclei. We begin with the hidden gauge formalism for the interaction of vector mesons, then review results for…
