Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is one of the most important features in low-energy QCD. The chiral symmetry is expected to be restored at very high temperature and/or density. Accompanied by the chiral phase transition, properties of hadrons will be changed especially near the critical point. The study of the phenomena associated with the chiral phase transition will give us some clues on...

Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and its restoration in a QCD medium is one of the most interesting aspects of non-perturbative QCD [1]. One clear sign that chiral symmetry is broken in the QCD vacuum comes from a comparison of the spectra of two quark currents related by a chiral transformation, namely the isovector–vector and isovector–axial-vector current. If the vacuum obeyed chiral sym...

We study SU(3)L×SU(3)R chiral quark model of mesons up to the next to leading order of 1/Nc expansion. Composite vector and axial-vector mesons resonances are introduced via non-linear realization of chiral SU(3) and vector meson dominant. Effects of one-loop graphs of pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector mesons is calculated systematically and the significant results are obtained. We also inv...

We consider partially quenched, mixed chiral perturbation theory with staggered sea and Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks in order to extract a chiral-continuum extrapolation expression for the vector meson mass up to order O(a2), at one-loop level. Based on general principles, we accomplish the task without explicitly constructing a sophisticated, heavy vector meson chiral Lagrangian. PACS number...

We develop a color bosonization approach to treatment of QCD gauge field (”gluons”) at low energies in order to derive an effective color action of QCD taking into account the quark chiral anomaly in the case of SU(2) color.. We have found that there exists such a region in the chiral sector of color space, where a gauge field coincides with of chirally rotated vector field, while an induced ax...

The isovector–vector and the isovector–axial-vector current are related by a chiral transformation. These currents can be called chiral partners at the fundamental level. In a world where chiral symmetry was not broken, the corresponding current-current correlators would show the same spectral information. In the real world chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. A prominent peak — the ρ-meson...

Based on an effective chiral theory of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons, the coefficients of the chiral perturbation theory are predicted. There is no new parameter in these predictions.

The definition of chiral transformations in light-front field theory is very different from the conventional form in equal-time formalism. We study the consistency of chiral transformations and chiral symmetry in light-front QCD and derive a complete new light-front axial-vector current for QCD. The breaking of chiral symmetry in light-front QCD is only associated with helicity flip interaction...
