We use the chiral quark-soliton model to identify all symmetry breaking terms linear in $m_{s}$ and investigate the strange magnetic moment in a ``model-independent'' way. Assuming hedgehog symmetry and employing the collective…
We propose a new approach to the determination of hadronic observables in which the essential features of chiral symmetry are combined with conventional constituent quark models. To illustrate the approach, we consider the simple quark…
I review some basic facts about the chiral limit of QCD. This allows to formulate an effective field theory below the chiral symmetry breaking scale, chiral perturbation theory (CHPT). I show that for threshold reactions, the spectrum of…
We analyze the proposal of Aharonov, Popescu, Rohrlich and Skrzypczyk [New. J. Phys. 15, 113015] of disembodying physical properties from particles. We argue that a different criterion, based on the cross-average $\langle \mathrm{`}cat\…
Heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT), where the $\Delta$ resonance is included, is used in order to examine the axial charged-current component of the weak interaction process at low neutrino energies. At leading chiral order…
The quantum numbers of the chiral soliton are derived for an arbitrary number of colors and flavors.
The recent suggestion of a vanishing flavor-singlet axial charge of nucleon due to a nontrivial vacuum structure is further amplified. A perturbative QCD discussion, applicable for the heavy quark contributions, relates it to the physics of…
Recently, sum rules were derived for the inverse eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. They were obtained in two different ways: i) starting from the low-energy effective Lagrangian and ii) starting from a random matrix theory with the…
In our world the standard model of particle physics contains within it the fairly intractable theory called QCD. A toy version with two colours is often studied as a model confining and chiral symmetry breaking field theory. Here we…
In this paper we present a quantum Cheshire Cat. In a pre- and post-selected experiment we find the Cat in one place, and its grin in another. The Cat is a photon, while the grin is its circular polarization.
The impact of a strong electromagnetic background field on otherwise perturbative QED processes is studied in the momentum-space formulation. The univariate background field is assumed to have finite support in time, thus being suitable to…
An effective Lagrangian for the light quark in the field of a static source is derived systematically using the exact field correlator expansion. The lowest Gaussian term is bosonized using nonlocal colorless bosonic fields and a general…
The proposed theory of causally structured discrete fields studies integer values on directed edges of a self-similar graph with a propagation rule, which we define as a set of valid combinations of integer values and edge directions around…
Chiral field theories describe large classes of matter, from the edges of Quantum Hall systems to the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, but defining them on the lattice has been an ongoing challenge due to a no-go theorem precluding…
The systematic effective Lagrangian method was first formulated in the context of the strong interaction: chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) is the effective theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). It was then pointed out that the method can…
In chiral models with SU(3) group structure, strange form factors of baryon octet are evaluated by constructing their sum rules to yield theoretical predictions comparable to the recent experimental data of SAMPLE Collaboration. We also…
A locally causal hidden-variable theory of quantum physics need not be constrained by the Bell inequalities if this theory also partially violates the measurement independence condition. However, such violation can appear unphysical,…
Are chiral theories at present describing experimental NN scattering data satisfactorily ?. Will the chiral approach offer a framework where fitting and selecting the existing np and pp data can be done without theoretical bias ?. While…
The properties of the effective field theory relevant for the low energy structure generated by the Goldstone bosons of a spontaneously broken symmetry are reexamined. It is shown that anomaly free, Lorentz invariant theories are…
We outline a novel chiral kinetic theory framework for systematic computations of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The real part of the fermion determinant in the QCD effective action is expressed…
