To Break or Not to Break: A Review of a No-Go Theorem on Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories
Ling-Xiao Xu
This is a pedagogical review of some recent progress in rigorously proving chiral symmetry breaking in a class of QCD-like theories that closely resemble the real-world QCD, namely…

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…

On the Proof of Chiral Symmetry Breaking through Anomaly Matching in QCD-like Theories: An Exemplification
Luca Ciambriello, Roberto Contino, Ling-Xiao Xu
Our recent works revisit the proof of chiral symmetry breaking in the confining phase of four-dimensional QCD-like theories, i.e. gauge theories with flavors of vec…
