I describe the long-standing search for a “smoking-gun” signal for the manifestation of (scale-)chiral symmetry in nuclear interactions. It is prompted by Gerry Brown’s last unpublished note, reproduced verbatim below, on the preeminent role of pions and vector ([Formula: see text]) mesons in providing a simple and elegant description of strongly correlated nuclear interactions. In this note written in tribute to Gerry Brown, I first describe a case of an unambiguous signal in axial-charge transitions in nuclei and then combine his ideas with the more recent development on the role of hidden symmetries in nuclear physics. What transpires is the surprising conclusion that the Landau–Migdal fixed point interaction [Formula: see text], the nuclear tensor forces and Brown–Rho scaling, all encoded in scale-invariant hidden local symmetry, as Gerry put, “run the show and make all forces equal.”

We study the consequence of chiral SU(3) symmetry in the kaon-nucleon phenomenology, by deriving the effective single-channel [Formula: see text] potential. It turns out that the πΣ interaction is strongly attractive and plays an important role for the structure of the Λ(1405) resonance. We discuss the implication of effective potential for the few-body kaonic nuclei.

Tony Lane came from humble beginnings to become one of the world's leading theoretical nuclear physicists. His career in the Theoretical Physics Division at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) at Harwell was characterized by his outstanding successes in explaining experimental nuclear data. He pioneered the understanding of the important nucleon capture reactions by introducing new mechanisms of direct and semi-direct capture and, together with colleagues, he greatly advanced knowledge of nuclear analogue states, and the role of isospin in nuclear physics. With R. G. Thomas, he wrote a comprehensive review of R-matrix theory, applied to analyse resonances in nuclear reactions, which became one of the most cited papers in physics. His book Nuclear theory gave a good account of the use of pairing force theory in nuclear physics, and its application to nuclear collective motion.
