Quantum chromodynamics with light quarks features an approximate global symmetry, known as chiral symmetry, that is believed to be spontaneously broken by the vacuum expectation value of a scalar and isoscalar composite field, in addition…
We investigate inhomogeneous chiral condensates, such as the so-called dual chiral density wave of dense quark matter, under an external magnetic field at finite real and imaginary chemical potentials. In a model-independent manner, we find…
We study the scaling behavior of the (2+1)-flavor QCD crossover region towards the chiral limit with smaller-than-physical light quark mass gauge ensembles, generated using the HISQ fermion discretization. At zero chemical potential, we…
The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature $T$, baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$, and isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$. The parameters of the model…
The shear rheology of dense colloidal and granular suspensions is strongly nonlinear, as these materials exhibit shear-thinning and shear-thickening, depending on multiple physical parameters. We numerically study the rheology of a simple…
We investigate the possibility of spatially inhomogeneous chiral and Cooper, or superconducting, pairing in the (1+1)-dimensional model by Chodos et al [ Phys. Rev. D61, 045011 (2000)] generalized to continuous chiral invariance. The…
In this talk, which popularizes some of our recent work, we provide novel insights into the bulk properties of light chiral quarks in a fixed Euclidean volume (e.g. lattice QCD). We show that the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry…
It was recently observed in a lattice QCD measurement that the chiral condensate in the quenched approximation shows dramatically different behavior in the three $Z_3$-equivalent de-confined phases. We argue that this phenomenon can be…
Chirality represents a kind of symmetry breaking characterized by the noncoincidence of an object with its mirror image and has been attracting intense attention in a broad range of scientific areas. The recent realization of spin-orbit…
Active systems of self-rotating elements inherently exhibit chirality, making them of fundamental interest due to parity violation. Using large-scale hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the gelation of adhesive spinners confined to…
We suggest that clusters or domains of topological charge and action density occur in the QCD vacuum as an effect of singularities in gauge fields and can simultaneously lead to confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. The string constant,…
We analyze the thermodynamical properties, at finite density and nonzero temperature, of the (1+1)-dimensional chiral Gross-Neveu model (the NJL_2 model), using the exact inhomogeneous (crystalline) condensate solutions to the gap equation.…
We investigate chiral symmetry breaking and color symmetry breaking in QCD. The effective potential of the corresponding scalar condensates is discussed in the presence of non-perturbative contributions from the semiclassical one-instanton…
We investigate the contribution of instantons to the eigenvalue spectrum of the Dirac operator in quenched QCD. The instanton configurations that we use have been derived, elsewhere, from cooled SU(3) lattice gauge fields and, for…
The behaviour of the chiral condensate in QCD is investigated by means of a study of the distribution of the zeros of the partition function in the complex quark mass plane. Simulations are performed at fixed temperature on three different…
Results are presented of a Monte Carlo simulation of a 2+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu model with SU(2)xSU(2) chiral symmetry at non-zero baryon chemical potential, corresponding to non-zero baryon density. The phenomenon of quark pair…
In the $\epsilon$-domain of QCD we have obtained exact analytical expressions for the eigenvalue density of the Dirac operator at fixed $\theta \ne 0$ for both one and two flavors. These results made it possible to explain how the different…
In this paper, we elaborate and extend our proposal arXiv:2307.16098 of the cosmological bouncing model in which a chiral condensate violates the null energy condition and induces a bounce. The condensate formation is caused by the…
We present both time-averaged and time-resolved transport measurements of a two-dimensional electron (Wigner) crystal on the surface of superfluid helium confined in a narrow microchannel. We find that the field-current characteristics of…
We study the dynamical formation of disoriented chiral condensates in very high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions using Bjorken hydrodynamics and relativistic nucleation theory. It is the dynamics of the first order confinement phase…
