The validity of SU(4)-flavor symmetry relations of couplings of charmed $D$ mesons to light mesons and baryons is examined with the use of $^3{rm P}_0$ quark-pair creation model and nonrelativistic quark model wave functions. We focus on the three-meson couplings $pipirho$, $KKrho$ and $DDrho$ and baryon-baryon-meson couplings $NNpi$, $NLambda K$ and $NLambda_c D$. It is found that SU(4)-flavor symmetry is broken at the level of 30% in the $DDrho$ tree-meson couplings and 20% in the baryon-baryon-meson couplings. Consequences of these findings for DN cross sections and existence of bound states D-mesons in nuclei are discussed.

We review heavy quark flavor and spin symmetries, their exploitation in heavy meson effective theories and the flavored couplings of charmed and light mesons in the definition of their effective Lagrangians. We point out how nonperturbative continuum QCD approaches based on Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations can be used to calculate strong and leptonic decays of open-charm mesons and heavy quarkonia. The strong decay $D^*to Dpi$ serves as a benchmark, as it is the only physical open-charm observable that can be related to the effective Lagrangians couplings. Nonetheless, a quantitative comparison of $D^*Dpi$, $rho DD$, $rho D^*D$ and $rho D^* D^*$ couplings for a range of off-shell momenta of the $rho$-meson invalidates SU(4)$_F$ symmetry relations between these couplings. Thus, besides the breaking of flavor symmetry by mass terms in the Lagrangians, the flavor-symmetry breaching in couplings and their dependence on the $rho$-meson virtuality cannot be ignored. We also take the opportunity to present new results for the effective $J/psi DD$ and $J/psi D^*D$ couplings. We conclude this contribution with a discussion on how the description of pseudoscalar and vector $D$, $D_s$, $B$ and $B_s$ meson properties can be drastically improved with a modest modification of the flavor-dependence in the Bethe-Salpeter equation.
We examine flavor SU(3) breaking effects on meson-baryon scattering amplitudes in the chiral unitary model. It turns out that the SU(3) breaking, which appears in the leading quark mass term in the chiral expansion, can not explain the channel dependence of the subtraction parameters of the model, which are crucial to reproduce the observed scattering amplitudes and resonance properties.
Flavor SU(3) symmetry, including $30%$ first order SU(3) breaking, has been shown to describe adequately a vast amount of data for charmed meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons and to a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. We review a recent dramatic progress achieved by applying a high order perturbation expansion in flavor SU(3) breaking and treating carefully isospin breaking. We identify a class of U-spin related $D^0$ decays to pairs involving charged pseudoscalar or vector mesons, for which high-precision nonlinear amplitude relations are predicted. Symmetry breaking terms affecting these relations are fourth order U-spin breaking, and terms which are first order in isospin breaking and second order in U-spin breaking. The predicted relations are shown to hold experimentally at a precision varying between $10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$, in agreement with estimates of high order terms. We also discuss amplitude relations for $D^0$ decays to pairs of neutral pseudoscalar mesons, and relations for rate asymmetries between decays involving $K^0_S$ and $K^0_L$ which hold up to second order U-spin breaking.
We study s-wave meson-baryon scattering using the chiral unitary model. We consider $1/2^{-}$ baryon resonances as quasibound states of the low lying mesons ($pi,K,eta$) and baryons ($N,Lambda,Sigma,Xi$). In previous works, the subtraction constants which appear in loop integrals were found to largely depend on the channels, and it was necessary to fit these constants to reproduce the data. In order to extend this model to all channels with fewer parameters, we introduce flavor SU(3) breaking interactions in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. It is found, however, that the observed SU(3) breaking in meson-baryon scattering cannot be explained by the present SU(3) breaking interactions. The role and importance of the subtraction constants in the present framework are discussed.
As the experimental data from kaonic atoms and $K^{-}N$ scatterings imply that the $K^{-}$-nucleon interaction is strongly attractive at saturation density, there is a possibility to form $K^{-}$-nuclear bound states or kaonic nuclei. In this work, we investigate the ground-state properties of the light kaonic nuclei with the relativistic mean field theory. It is found that the strong attraction between $K^{-}$ and nucleons reshapes the scalar and vector meson fields, leading to the remarkable enhancement of the nuclear density in the interior of light kaonic nuclei and the manifest shift of the single-nucleon energy spectra and magic numbers therein. As a consequence, the pseudospin symmetry is shown to be violated together with enlarged spin-orbit splittings in these kaonic nuclei.
