Finite-volume effects for the nucleon chiral partners are studied within the framework of the parity-doublet model. Our model includes the vacuum energy shift for nucleons, which is the Casimir effect. We find that for the antiperiodic boundary the finite-volume effect leads to chiral symmetry restoration, and the masses of the nucleon parity doublets degenerate. For the periodic boundary, the chiral symmetry breaking is enhanced, and the masses of the nucleons also increase. We also discuss the finite-temperature effect and the dependence on the number of compactified spatial dimensions.

The chirally symmetric baryon parity-doublet model can be used as an effective description of the baryon-like objects in the chirally symmetric phase of QCD. Recently it has been found that above the critical temperature higher chiralspin symmetries emerge in QCD. It is demonstrated here that the baryon parity-doublet Lagrangian is manifestly chiralspin-invariant. We construct nucleon interpolators with fixed chiralspin transformation properties that can be used in lattice studies at high T.
It has recently been suggested that the parity doublet structure seen in the spectrum of highly excited baryons may be due to effective chiral restoration for these states. We argue how the idea of chiral symmetry restoration high in the spectrum is consistent with the concept of quark-hadron duality. If chiral symmetry is effectively restored for highly-lying states, then the baryons should fall into representations of $SU(2)_Ltimes SU(2)_R$ that are compatible with the given parity of the states - the parity-chiral multiplets. We classify all possible parity-chiral multiplets: (i) $(1/2,0)oplus(0, 1/2)$ that contain parity doublet for nucleon spectrum;(ii) $(3/2,0) oplus (0, 3/2)$ consists of the parity doublet for delta spectrum; (iii) $(1/2,1) oplus (1, 1/2)$ contains one parity doublet in the nucleon spectrum and one parity doublet in the delta spectrum of the same spin that are degenerate in mass. Here we show that the available spectroscopic data for nonstrange baryons in the $sim$ 2 GeV range is consistent with all possibilities, but the approximate degeneracy of parity doublets in nucleon and delta spectra support the latter possibility with excited baryons approximately falling into $(1/2,1) oplus (1, 1/2)$ representation of $SU(2)_LtimesSU(2)_R$ with approximate degeneracy between positive and negative parity $N$ and $Delta$ resonances of the same spin.
We propose $D$ mesons as probes to investigate finite-volume effects for chiral symmetry breaking at zero and finite temperature. By using the $2+1$-flavor linear-sigma model with constituent light quarks, we analyze the Casimir effects for the $sigma$ mean fields: The chiral symmetry is rapidly restored by the antiperiodic boundary for light quarks, and the chiral symmetry breaking is catalyzed by the periodic boundary. We also show the phase diagram of the $sigma$ mean fields on the volume and temperature plane. For $D$ mesons, we employ an effective model based on the chiral-partner structure, where the volume dependence of $D$ mesons is induced by the $sigma$ mean fields. We find that $D_s$ mesons are less sensitive to finite volume than $D$ mesons, which is caused by the insensitivity of $sigma_s$ mean fields. An anomalous mass shift of $D$ mesons at high temperature with the periodic boundary will be useful in examinations with lattice QCD simulations. The dependence on the number of compactified spatial dimensions is also studied.
We propose a definition of the Casimir energy for free lattice fermions. From this definition, we study the Casimir effects for the massless or massive naive fermion, Wilson fermion, and (Mobius) domain-wall fermion in $1+1$ dimensional spacetime with the spatial periodic or antiperiodic boundary condition. For the naive fermion, we find an oscillatory behavior of the Casimir energy, which is caused by the difference between odd and even lattice sizes. For the Wilson fermion, in the small lattice size of $N geq 3$, the Casimir energy agrees very well with that of the continuum theory, which suggests that we can control the discretization artifacts for the Casimir effect measured in lattice simulations. We also investigate the dependence on the parameters tunable in Mobius domain-wall fermions. Our findings will be observed both in condensed matter systems and in lattice simulations with a small size.
We study the Casimir interaction energy due to the vacuum fluctuations of the Electromagnetic (EM) field in the presence of two mirrors, described by $2+1$-dimensional, generally nonlocal actions, which may contain both parity-conserving and parity-breaking terms. We compare the results with the ones corresponding to Chern-Simons boundary conditions, and evaluate the interaction energy for several particular situations.
