Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory is discussed, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string theory on anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories.

Chiral Perturbation Theory: Expansions in the Mass of the Strange Quark

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct the generating functional of U(3)×U(3), which allows them to calculate the Green functions up to and including terms of order p4 (at fixed radio m quark p 2 ) in terms of a few coupling constants which chiral symmetry leaves undetermined.

QCD phenomenology based on a chiral effective Lagrangian

TL;DR: The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model as mentioned in this paper is a low-energy effective theory of QCD, and it has been applied to the system at finite temperature (T ) and density (ϱ) relevant to the early universe, interior of the neutron stars and the ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

Axions and the Strong CP Problem

TL;DR: Very light axion (theory, supersymmetrization, and models) using recent particle, astrophysical, and cosmological data, and present prospects for its discovery is reviewed here.

Strong dynamics and electroweak symmetry breaking

TL;DR: The breaking of electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated "weak scale" vweak = 1/ q 2 √ 2GF = 175 GeV, may be due to a new strong interaction as mentioned in this paper.

Symmetry Breaking Through Bell-Jackiw Anomalies

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nonperturburbative effects can give rise to interactions that violate the charge conservation in models of fermions coupled to gauge fields and that the total charge corresponding to such currents seems to be still conserved.

Pseudoparticle Solutions of the Yang-Mills Equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find regular solutions of the four dimensional euclidean Yang-Mills equations and show that these solutions minimize locally the action integrals, which is finite in this case.

Fate of the false vacuum: Semiclassical theory

TL;DR: In this article, the decay of a false vacuum in a single scalar field with nonderivative interactions is studied. But the decay is not restricted to the case of singular fields.

Behavior of Current Divergences under SU 3 × SU 3

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior under SU3×SU3 of the hadron energy density and the closely related question of how the divergences of the axial-vector currents and the strangeness-changing vector currents transform under SU 3×SU 3.
