The basic ideas and methods of chiral perturbation theory are briefly reviewed. I discuss the recent attempts to build an effective Lagrangian in the resonance region and summarize the known large-N_C constraints on the low-energy chiral…
The chiral equivariant cohomology contains and generalizes the classical equivariant cohomology of a manifold M with an action of a compact Lie group G. For any simple G, there exist compact manifolds with the same classical equivariant…
We study brane realizations of chiral matter in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. A "cross" configuration which leads to "flavor doubling" is found to have a superpotential. The main example is realized using a special…
Chiral Higher Spin Gravity is the minimal extension of the graviton with propagating massless higher spin fields. It admits any value of the cosmological constant, including zero. Its existence implies that Chern-Simons vector models have…
An example of a higher spin gravity in four-dimensional flat space has recently been constructed in arXiv:1609.04655 [hep-th]. This theory is chiral and the action is written in the light-cone gauge. The theory has certain stringy features,…
We construct a covariant generating function for the spectrum of chiral primaries of symmetric orbifold conformal field theories with N=(4,4) supersymmetry in two dimensions. For seed target spaces K3 and T4, the generating functions…
We formulate four dimensional higher spin gauge theories in spacetimes with signature (4-p,p) and nonvanishing cosmological constant. Among them are chiral models in Euclidean (4,0) and Kleinian (2,2) signature involving half-flat gauge…
A systematic presentation of spinors in various dimensions is given.
We provide obstructions on the cycle structure of inner automorphisms of finite indecomposable racks and quandles and verify some cases of a conjecture by C. Hayashi.
In this paper we further analyze modular invariants for subfactors, in particular the structure of the chiral induced systems of M-M morphisms. The relative braiding between the chiral systems restricts to a proper braiding on their…
Spin polarizabilities of the nucleon are discussed in the framework of fixed-t and backward-angle dispersion relations, chiral perturbation theory, and the non-relativistic quark model. Calculations with the dispersion relations generally…
We develop a spinorial description of CR structures of arbitrary codimension. More precisely, we characterize almost CR structures of arbitrary codimension on (Riemannian) manifolds by the existence of a Spin$^{c, r}$ structure carrying a…
We construct chiral N=1 gauge theories in 4D by compactifying the 6D Blum-Intriligator (1,0) theories of 5-branes at $A_k$ singularities on $T^2$ with a nontrivial bundle of the global U(1) symmetry of these theories.
Chirality manifests in various forms in nature. However, there is no evidence of the chirality in one-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) systems. Here, we have explored the chirality among quasi-one-dimensional CDW ground states with the…
We present an improved version of the cyclic covering trick, which works inside the category of toroidal embeddings
The Cachazo-Douglas-Seiberg-Witten conjecture, concerning the algebraic structure of the chiral ring in N=1, D=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, is proven for exceptional gauge groups. This completes the proof of the conjecture.
The article has been withdrawn - the proof of the final corollary turned out to rely on an unproven statement. If the authors will manage to repair the argument, resubmission will be made.
I discuss several topics in chiral perturbation theory - in particular, I recall pecularities of the chiral expansion in the baryon sector.
Electrons which are slowly moving through chiral magnetic textures can effectively be described as if they where influenced by electromagnetic fields emerging from the real-space topology. This adiabatic viewpoint has been very successful…
Spintronic devices typically employ heterostructures with ferromagnets which break time-reversal symmetry and have non-vanishing magnetization. With the growing class of materials that support spin-polarized carriers, current, and…
