Baryons, Skyrmions and -periodicity anomaly in chiral and vector-like gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Andrea Luzio, Giacomo Santoni
In this paper, we study the baryons and solitons of chiral and vector-like gauge theories with matter in mixed one and two-index representations. Focusing on the Color-flav…
Natural Anomaly Matching
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio +1
In a large class of chiral gauge theories in four dimensions it was found that certain natural assumption about the bifermion condensates leads to the infrared effective theory whe…
Chiral gauge theories, generalized anomalies and breakdown of the color-flavor-locked center symmetry
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio +1
We study the strong-interaction dynamics of a class of chiral gauge theories with a fermion in a symmetric second-rank tensor representation and a number of fermions i…
The Monopole-Fermion Problem in a Chiral Gauge Theory (the Model)
Stefano Bolognesi, Bruno Bucciotti, Andrea Luzio
The scattering of electrically charged fermions on magnetic monopole leads to the Callan-Rubakov problem. We discuss some aspects of this problem for Abelian gauge theories with ch…
A novel strategy to prove chiral symmetry breaking in QCD-like theories
Luca Ciambriello, Roberto Contino, Andrea Luzio +2
We demonstrate that chiral symmetry breaking occurs in the confining regime of QCD-like theories with colors and flavors. Our proof is based on a novel strategy, called…
Anomalies and Dynamics in Strongly-Coupled Gauge Theories, New Criteria for Different Phases, and a Lesson from Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Kenichi Konishi, Stefano Bolognesi, Andrea Luzio
We review recent developments in our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories in four dimensions, problems which are potentially important in…
The anomaly in some chiral gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We revisit the simplest Bars-Yankielowicz (BY) model (the model), starting from a model with an additional Dirac pair of fermions in the fundamental representation, together w…
Dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We study the dynamics of chiral gauge theories with massless fermions belonging to various combinations of the symmetric, antisymmetric or fundamental representations. We l…
On the Proof of Chiral Symmetry Breaking from Anomaly Matching in QCD-like Theories
Luca Ciambriello, Roberto Contino, Andrea Luzio +2
We critically reconsider the argument based on 't Hooft anomaly matching that aims at proving chiral symmetry breaking in confining four-dimensional QCD-like theories with …
Dynamical Abelianization and anomalies in chiral gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We explore the idea that in some class of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories the infrared dynamics might be characterized by a bifermion condensate in the adjoint repre…
On the Derivation of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories and S-confining Theories
Andrea Luzio, Ling-Xiao Xu
Recent works argue that the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD-like theories can be derived from supersymmetric (SUSY) QCD with perturbation of anomaly-mediated SUSY breaki…
Anomalies and phases of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories: recent developments
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
After many years of investigations, our understanding of the dynamics of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories is still quite unsatisfactory today. Conventional wisdom about stron…
Strong anomaly and phases of chiral gauge theories
Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We present a simple argument which seems to favor, when applied to a large class of strongly-coupled chiral gauge theories, a dynamical-Higgs-phase scenario, characterized by certa…

Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi, Andrea Luzio
We study symmetries and dynamics of chiral gauge theories with matter Weyl fermions in a two-index symmetric () or anti-symmetric tensor () representation, together w…
