We compare Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and the Linear Sigma Model (LSM) as realizations of low energy QCD for light mesons in a chirally imbalanced medium. The relations between the low-energy constants of the Chiral Lagrangian and…

We calculate the $O(p^6)$ corrections to the anomalous form factors appearing in $\pi^+$, $K^+ \to e^+ \nu \gamma,\ \mu^+\nu\gamma$ and $K_{l4}$ decays in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The relevant dimension $6$ terms of the lagrangian are…

We re-investigate the radiative charged kaon decay K+- --> pi0 e+- nu_e gamma in chiral perturbation theory, merging the chiral expansion with Low's theorem. We thoroughly analyze the precision of the predicted branching ratio relative to…

This article gives details of our proposal to replace ordinary chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_3$ by 3-flavor chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$. In $\chi$PT$_\sigma$, amplitudes are expanded at…

I describe recent developments in quenched chiral perturbation theory (QChPT) and the status of weak matrix elements involving light quarks. I illustrate how, with improved statistical errors, and with calculations of the masses of baryons…

We calculate the weak nonleptonic decay of the Omega^- baryon to octet final states in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We include the one-loop leading logarithmic effects and show that this improves the universality of the…

We present a calculation of the low energy constants describing the real and imaginary parts of the $K \to \pi \pi$ decay amplitudes $A_0$ and $A_2$. Leading and next leading order chiral perturbation theory is used and its applicability…

Motivated by recent experimental advances in the corresponding measurements, non-leptonic hyperon decays are calculated, for the first time in a relativistic manner, in Chiral Perturbation Theory at next-to-leading order (NLO). On the one…

We describe Scalar-Pseudoscalar partner degeneration at the QCD chiral transition in terms of the dominant low-energy physical states for the light quark sector. First, we obtain within model-independent one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory…

We replace ordinary chiral SU(3)_L * SU(3)_R perturbation theory CHPT_3 by a new theory CHPT_sigma based on a low-energy expansion about an infrared fixed point alpha_IR for 3-flavor QCD. At alpha_IR, the quark condensate <bar{q}q>_vac =\=…

In framework of the chiral perturbation theory we obtain the phenomenological relations between decay branches of rare radiative kaon to pion and leptons $K^+ \to \pi^+ l^+ l^-$ and $K^0_S \to \pi^0 l^+ l^-$ and meson form factors. The…

We study the difficulties associated with detecting chiral singularities predicted by chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) in lattice QCD. We focus on the physics of the remnant O(2) chiral symmetry of staggered fermions in the strong coupling…

We point out that, given the current experimental status of radiative kaon decays, a subclass of the ${\cal O} (p^4)$ counterterms of the weak chiral lagrangian can be determined in closed form. This involves in a decisive way the decay…

We report on the status of our dynamical simulations of a $SU (N_c )$ gauge theory with $N_c=3-6$ and $N_f =4$ fundamental fermions. These ensembles can be used to study the Large $N_c$ scaling of weak matrix elements in the GIM limit…

A self-consistent analysis of K --> 2pi and K --> 3pi decays within a unique framework of chiral dynamics applied to the QCD-corrected weak nonleptonic quark lagrangian has been performed. The results on K --> 2pi amplitudes at O(p^6),…

The estimation of rare K decay matrix-elements from Kl3 experimental data is extended beyond LO in Chiral Perturbation Theory. Isospin-breaking effects at NLO (and partially NNLO) in the ChPT expansion, as well as QED radiative corrections…

The CP conserving amplitudes for the decays $K\to3\pi$ are calculated in Chiral Perturbation Theory at the next-to-leading order. We present the expressions in a compact form with single parameter functions only. These expressions are then…

Precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) currently show a deficit in first-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity. In this talk, we discuss progress towards a correlated analysis of the lattice-QCD inputs needed to test this…

As increased statistics and new ensembles with light pions have become available within the CLS effort, we complete previous work by inspecting the chiral behaviour of the pion decay constant. We discuss the validity of Chiral Perturbation…

The non-leptonic hyperon decays are analyzed up to one-loop order including all counterterms in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We use the exchange of the spin-3/2 decuplet resonances as an indication of which…
