Abstract

In this talk we briefly describe some basic elements of chiral perturbation theory, $I ¨ P T$ , and how the implementation of unitarity and other novel elements lead to a better expansion of the $T$ matrix for meson meson and meson baryon interactions. Applications are then done to the $I ¨ I ¨ $ interaction in nuclear matter in the scalar and vector channels, antikaons in nuclei and $K^{-}$ atoms, and how the $I ¨ $ meson properties are changed in a nuclear medium.
