About two decades ago, Gerry Brown pushed me to study hadron physics using hadronic models based on the hidden local symmetry (HLS). Since then, I have been involving many works related to the HLS. In this contribution to Gerry’s memorial, I will summarize my recent analyses associated with the HLS. After a very brief summary of the HLS, I will show a way to determine parameters of the HLS model from holographic QCD models. This model provides a soliton solution which is identified with the nucleon. I will briefly introduce a model in which the solitons are put onto a crystal lattice for simulating nuclear matter. The results suggest existence of the chiral invariant mass of nucleon. I also briefly review my recent analyses on the nuclear matter by using a hadronic model including nucleon field together with the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mesons based on the parity doublet structure of nucleon combined with the HLS, in which the chiral invariant mass of the nucleon is naturally embedded. The result implies that studying effective masses of nucleons will give a clue for the chiral invariant mass. Finally, I will show our recent analysis on the medium modification of charmed meson masses using a chiral model based on the chiral doubling structure of charmed mesons. The result shows that the masses of the chiral partners of charmed mesons become closer in high density reflecting the particle chiral symmetry restoration in medium.
