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…
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…
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…
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 …
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…
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…
