Abstract We use the energy–momentum tensor (EMT) current to compute the EMT form factors of the nucleon in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rule formalism. In the calculations, we employ the most general form of the nucleon’s interpolating field and use the distribution amplitudes (DAs) of the nucleon with two sets of the numerical values of the main input parameters entering the expressions of the DAs. The directly obtained results from the sum rules for the form factors are reliable at $$ Q^2\ge 1$$Q2≥1 GeV$$^2 $$2: to extrapolate the results to include the zero momentum transfer squared with the aim of estimation of the related static physical quantities, we use some fit functions for the form factors. The numerical computations show that the energy–momentum tensor form factors of the nucleon can be well fitted to the multipole fit form. We compare the results obtained for the form factors at $$ Q^2=0 $$Q2=0 with the existing theoretical predictions as well as experimental data on the gravitational form factor d$$_1^q(0)$$1q(0). For the form factors M$$_2^q (0)$$2q(0) and J$$^q(0)$$q(0) a consistency among the theoretical predictions is seen within the errors: our results are nicely consistent with the Lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory predictions. However, there are large discrepancies among the theoretical predictions on d$$_1^q(0)$$1q(0). Nevertheless, our prediction is in accord with the JLab data as well as with the results of the Lattice QCD, chiral perturbation theory and KM15-fit. Our fit functions well define most of the JLab data in the interval $$ Q^2\in [0,0.4]$$Q2∈[0,0.4] GeV$$^2 $$2, while the Lattice results suffer from large uncertainties in this region. As a by-product, some mechanical properties of the nucleon like the pressure and energy density at the center of nucleon as well as its mechanical radius are also calculated and their results are compared with other existing theoretical predictions.

According to the Leutwyler–Smilga relation, in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the topological susceptibility vanishes linearly with the quark masses. Calculations of the topological susceptibility in the context of lattice QCD, extrapolated to zero quark masses, show a remnant nonzero value as a lattice artefact. Employing the Atiyah–Singer theorem in the framework of Symanzik’s effective action and chiral perturbation theory, we show the validity of the Leutwyler–Smilga relation in lattice QCD with lattice artefacts of order a2 in the lattice spacing a.

We study the strong interaction potentials of [Formula: see text] up to order [Formula: see text] with the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. Besides the leading contributions from the contact terms we also consider the one-loop corrections to the contact diagrams and the contributions from the 2ϕ-exchange diagrams. Hopefully, the analytical structures of our result will be helpful in the extrapolation of the relevant heavy meson interaction in the lattice QCD simulation.

I review the constraints posed on the interactions of pions, nucleons and photons by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry of QCD. The framework to perform these calculations, chiral perturbation theory, is briefly discussed in the meson sector. The method is a simultaneous expansion of the Greens functions in powers of external momenta and quark masses around the massless case, the chiral limit. To perform this expansion, use is made of a phenomenological Lagrangian which encodes the Ward–identities and pertinent symmetries of QCD. The concept of chiral power counting is introduced. The main part of the lectures consists in describing how to include baryons (nucleons) and how the chiral structure is modified by the fact that the nucleon mass in the chiral limit does not vanish. Particular emphasis is put on working out applications to show the strengths and limitations of the method. Some processes which are discussed are threshold photopion production, low-energy Compton scattering off nucleons, πN scattering and the σ–term. The implications of the broken chiral symmetry on the nuclear forces are briefly described. An alternative approach, in which the baryons are treated as very heavy fields, is touched upon.

AbstractWe calculate the light-quark condensate, the strange-quark condensate, the pion condensate, and the axial condensate in three-flavor chiral perturbation theory ($$\chi $$ χ PT) in the presence of an isospin chemical potential at next-to-leading order at zero temperature. It is shown that the three-flavor $$\chi $$ χ PT effective potential and condensates can be mapped onto two-flavor $$\chi $$ χ PT ones by integrating out mesons with strange-quark content (kaons and eta), with renormalized couplings. We compare the results for the light-quark and pion condensates at finite pseudoscalar source with ($$2+1$$ 2 + 1 )-flavor lattice QCD, and we also compare the axial condensate at zero pseudoscalar and axial sources with lattice QCD data. We find that the light-quark, pion, and axial condensates are in very good agreement with lattice data. There is an overall improvement by including NLO effects.
