Chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry constrain the interactions of mesons containing a single heavy quark with low-momentum pions. Chiral corrections to the Isgur-Wise function for $\bar B_s \rightarrow D_s^{(*)}$ versus $\bar B…
We summarize the current theoretical and experimental status of the spectral changes of vector mesons ($\rho$, $\omega$, $\phi$) in nuclear medium. Various approaches including QCD sum rules, effective theory of hadrons and bag models show…
The effects of magnetic interaction between vector mesons and nucleons on the propagation (mass and width) of the $\rho$-meson in particular moving through very dense nuclear matter is studied and the modifications, qualitative and…
We present a comprehensive study of the screening masses of vector and axial-vector mesons and their corresponding diquark partners within a symmetry-preserving vector-vector contact interaction approach. Our analysis includes mesons and…
We revisit the question of whether the U_A(1) symmetry is effectively restored in hot and dense medium. In particular, by generalizing the Witten-Veneziano formula to finite temperature, we investigate whether the mass of eta'-meson will…
Chiral symmetry is one of the most fundamental symmetries in QCD. It is closely connected to hadron properties in the nuclear medium via the reduction of the quark condensate <bar{q}q>, manifesting the partial restoration of chiral…
Corrections to $K\rightarrow\pi\pi\pi$ induced by vector and scalar meson exchange are investigated within chiral perturbation theory.
Because of their weak interactions with the strongly interacting matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, dileptons provide an ideal probe of the early dynamics of these collisions. Here, we study dilepton production using a…
The in-medium spectral functions of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons and the broadening of the nucleon resonances at finite baryon density are calculated self-consistently by combining a resonance dominance model for the vector meson production…
The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…
In this write-up we summarize main results of our recent analyses on the mixing between transverse rho and a1 mesons in hot and/or dense matter. We show that the axial-vector meson contributes significantly to the vector spectral function…
Rho meson propagation in hot hadronic matter is studied in a model with coupling to $\pi\pi$ states. Medium modifications are induced by a change of the pion dispersion relation through collisions with nucleons and $\Delta's$ in the…
The constraints imposed by chiral symmetry on hadron correlation functions in nuclear medium are discussed. It is shown that these constraints imply some structure of the in-medium hadron correlators, lead to the cancellation of the order…
The properties of strange pseudoscalar and vectors mesons as well as strange baryon resonances in dense matter are reviewed. Some open questions on the properties of strange hadrons in medium are addressed, such as the experimental…
Finite energy sum rules for vector and axial-vector currents are derived in a thermal medium to provide constraints for the spectral behavior of rho and a1 mesons at nonvanishing temperature and hence to study the tendency toward chiral…
The notion of "hadronic freedom" is introduced based on the vector manifestation of hidden local symmetry and is used to suggest that the dileptons measured in relativistic heavy-ion collisions do not provide {\em direct} information on the…
Dilepton and photon production in heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies is studied in the relativistic transport model that incorporates self-consistently the change of hadron masses in dense matter. It is found that the dilepton spectra in…
The vector manifestation (VM) was proposed as a novel manifestation of chiral symmetry in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion. In this write-up, I briefly summarize the following main ingredients to formulate…
We calculate the leading quark mass corrections of order $m_q\log(m_q)$, $m_q$ and $m_q^{3/2}$ to the vector meson decay constants within Heavy Vector Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory. We discuss the issue of electromagnetic gauge…
It is argued that, in heavy ion collisions, thermal dileptons are good probes of the transport properties of the medium created in such events, and also of its early-time dynamics, usually inaccessible to hadronic observables. In this work…
