We extend an effective Lagrangian embodying broken scale and chiral symmetry to include explicit chiral symmetry breaking and an additional chiral invariant term which allows for an axial coupling constant greater than unity. We also include a chiral Lagrangian for the isotriplet vector mesons which leads to a renormalization of the pion field. The properties of nuclear matter and nuclei, low e...

We propose a new approach to describe baryonic structure in terms of an effective chiral Lagrangian. The state vector of a baryon is defined on the light front of general position ω·x = 0, where ω is an arbitrary light-like four vector. It is then decomposed in Fock components including an increasing number of pions. The maximal number of particles in the state vector is mapped out to the order...

An effective lagrangian incorporating both chiral and heavy quark symmetries and describing the low momentum interactions of heavy mesons and light scalar and vector resonances is presented. Using some available data and assuming nearest pole dominance for the form factors we can calculate, at the leading order in chiral and heavy quark expansion, semileptonic B and D decays into light mesons.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer a range of potential applications based on their unique one-dimensional structures. Theoretical calculations shows that their electronic structures depend strongly on their chiral vector indices (n,m) which determine the diameter and chiral angle. The graphite wrapping condition n-m=3p+q generates metallic tubes for q=0, while semiconducting tubes a...

The two-point functions in generalized Nambu–Jona-Lasinio models are calculated to all orders in momenta and quark masses to leading order in 1/Nc. The use of Ward identities and the heat-kernel expansion allows for a large degree of regularization independence. We also show how this approach works to the same order for three-point functions on the example of the vector-pseudoscalar-pseudoscala...

Department of Physics, Saga University, Saga 840-8502, Japan Abstract Using a phenomenological model with vector-type interactions, we discuss a role of repulsive force in the quark-hadron phase transition at high density. For realization of the quark phase at high density, strong vector coupling is needed in the hadron phase, while it is forbidden in the quark phase. For the quark-phase, a NJL...

A bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of complex vector soliton equations is derived from geometric flows of non-stretching curves in the Lie groups G = SO(N + 1), SU(N) ⊂ U(N), generalizing previous work on integrable curve flows in Riemannian symmetric spaces G/SO(N). The derivation uses a parallel frame and connection along the curves, involving the Klein geometry of the group G. This is shown to yield...

The vector manifestation (VM) is a new pattern for realizing the chiral symmetry in QCD. In the VM, the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion at the critical point, in contrast with the restoration based on the linear sigma model. Including the intrinsic temperature dependences of the parameters of the HLS Lagrangian determined from the underlying QCD through the Wilsonian ma...
