We study effective field theories (EFT) of nuclear structure based on spontaneously broken global $SU(2)_Ltimes SU(2)_R$ chiral symmetry of QCD with two massless quarks, i.e. $SU(2)chi PT$. For ground-state nuclei, this EFT enables expansion and truncation in inverse powers of $Lambda_{chi SB}simeq 1 GeV$, with analytic operators renormalized to all loop orders. We derive the EFT Lagrangian to order $Lambda^0_{chi SB}$. We show that $SU(2)chi PT$ of protons, neutrons and pions admits a semi-classical Static Chiral Nucleon Liquid (Static$chi$NL) phase and that Pion-less $SU(2)chi PT$ emerges in this liquid: far-infrared pions decouple from Static$chi$NL, vastly simplifying the derivation of saturated nuclear matter (the infinite liquid phase) and of finite microscopic liquid drops (ground-state nuclides). Static$chi$NL are made entirely of nucleons with even parity, total spin zero, and even $Z$ and $N$; local expectation values for spin and momenta vanish. They explain the power of pion-less $SU(2)chi PT$ to capture experimental ground-state properties of certain nuclides, this explanation following directly from the global symmetries of QCD with two massless quarks. Mean-field Static$chi$NL non-topological solitons are true solutions of $SU(2)chi PT$s semi-classical symmetries: they obey all CVC and PCAC conservation laws and they have zero internal and external pressure. The nuclear liquid-drop model and the semi-empirical mass formula emerge -- with correct nuclear density and saturation and asymmetry energies -- in an explicit Thomas-Fermi construction. We relate our work to compatible and complementary work in pionless and in halo/ cluster EFTs, also composed entirely of nucleons and applied to light ($Aleq 6$) nuclei, which might provide important (<12.5%) corrections to Static$chi NL$.
The Standard Model of particle physics, augmented with neutrino mixing, is at least very nearly the complete theory of interactions of known particles at energies accessible to Nature on Earth. Candidate effective theories of nuclear structure must t
We discuss proton decay in a recently proposed model of supersymmetric hybrid inflation based on the gauge symmetry $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$. A $U(1), R$ symmetry plays an essential role in realizing inflation as well as in eliminating s
We explore the sparticle mass spectra including LSP dark matter within the framework of supersymmetric $SU(4)_c times SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ (422) models, taking into account the constraints from extensive LHC and cold dark matter searches. The soft
Motivated by the ongoing searches for new physics at the LHC, we explore the low energy consequences of a D-brane inspired $ SU(4)_Ctimes SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R$ (4-2-2) model. The Higgs sector consists of an $SU(4)$ adjoint, a pair $H+bar H$ in $(4,1
Treating the strange quark mass as a heavy scale compared to the light quark mass, we perform a matching of the nucleon mass in the SU(3) sector to the two-flavor case in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The validity of the $19$ low-energ
