With a light dilaton $sigma$ and the light-quark vector mesons $V=(rho,omega)$ incorporated into an effective scale-invariant hidden local symmetric Lagrangian, scale-chiral symmetry -- hidden in QCD -- arises at a high density, $n_{1/2}$, as an emergent symmetry, a phenomenon absent in standard chiral perturbative approaches but highly relevant for massive compact stars. What takes place as the density increases beyond $n_{1/2}sim 2n_0$ in compressed baryonic matter is (1) a topology change from skyrmions to half-skyrmions, (2) parity doubling in the nucleon structure, (3) the maximum neutron star mass $Msimeq 2.01 M_{odot}$ and the radius $Rsimeq 12.0$ km and (4) the sound velocity $v_s^2/c^2simeq 1/3$ due to the vector manifestation (VM) fixed point of $rho$ and a walking dilaton condensate, which is intricately connected to the source of the proton mass.

Soft-pion theorems are used to show how chiral symmetry constrains the contributions of low-momentum pions to the quark condensate, the pion decay constant and hadron masses, all of which have been proposed as signals of partial restoration of chiral
symmetry in matter. These have contributions of order T^2 for a pion gas or of order m_pi for cold nuclear matter, which have different coefficients in all three cases, showing that there are no simple relations between the changes to these quantities in matter. In particular, such contributions are absent from the masses of vector mesons and nucleons and so these masses cannot scale as any simple function of the quark condensate. More generally, pieces of the quark condensate that arise from low-momentum pions should not be associated with partial restoration of chiral symmetry.
The sound velocity $v_s$ and dimensionless tidal deformability $Lambda$ are analyzed using the pseudo-conformal model we developed before. In contrast to the conclusion obtained in the previous works in the literature, our model with the upper bound
of the sound velocity $v_s = 1/sqrt{3}$, the so-called conformal sound velocity, set in at a { density relevant to compact stars} $gsim 2 n_0$ where $n_0$ is the normal nuclear matter density, can accommodate {it all} presently established nuclear matter and compact-star properties including the maximum star-mass constraint $ simeq 2.3 M_odot$. This observation is associated with a possible emergence of pseudoconformal structure in compact star matter---in which the trace of energy-momentum tensor is a nearly density-independent nonzero constant---brought in by a topology change at $2.0 lesssim n_{1/2}/n_0 lesssim 4.0$ commensurate with a possible change of degrees of freedom from hadrons.
We calculate the mass of the vector meson in the chiral symmetry restored vacuum. This is accomplished by separating the four quark operators appearing in the vector and axial vector meson sum rules into chiral symmetric and symmetry breaking parts d
epending on the contribution of the fermion zero modes. We then identify each part from the fit to the vector and axial vector meson masses. By taking the chiral symmetry breaking part to be zero while keeping the symmetric operator to the vacuum value, we find that the chiral symmetric part of the vector and axial vector meson mass to be between 550 and 600 MeV. This demonstrates that chiral symmetry breaking, while responsible for the mass difference between chiral partner, accounts only for a small fraction of the symmetric part of the mass.
A unified treatment of both chiral and radiative corrections to the low-energy elastic lepton-proton scattering processes is presented in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbations Theory. The proton hadronic chiral corrections include the next-to-next-to lea
ding order corrections whereas the radiative corrections include the next-to-leading order terms in our novel power counting scheme. We find that the net fractional well-defined chiral corrections with respect to the leading order Born cross section can be as large as $10%$ ($20%$) for electron (muon) scattering process for MUon proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) kinematics. We show {it via} our model-independent treatment of the low-energy lepton-proton kinematics, that the largest theoretical uncertainty is due to the recent different published values of the protons rms radius while, e.g., the next higher order hadronic chiral terms are expected to give rather nominal errors. For the radiative corrections we demonstrate a systematic order by order cancellation of all infrared singularities and present our finite ultraviolet regularization results. We find that the radiative corrections for muon-proton scattering is of the order of $2%$, whereas for electron scattering the radiative corrections could be as large as $25%$. We attribute such a contrasting result partially to the fact that in muon scattering the leading radiative order correction goes through zero in some intermediate low-momentum transfer region, leaving the sub-leading radiative chiral order effects to play a dominant role in this particular kinematic region. For the low-energy MUSE experiment, the often neglected lepton mass as well as the Pauli form factor contributions of the relativistic leptons are incorporated in all our computations.
The partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium is investigated in a model independent way by exploiting operator relations in QCD. An exact sum rule is derived for the quark condensate valid for all density. This sum rule is simplified
at low density to a new relation with the in-medium quark condensate <bar{q}q>*, in-medium pion decay constant F_{pi}^t and in-medium pion wave-function renormalization Z_{pi}*. Calculating Z_{pi}*at low density from the iso-scalar pion-nucleon scattering data and relating F_{pi}^t to the isovector pion-nucleus scattering length b_1^*, it is concluded that the enhanced repulsion of the s-wave isovector pion-nucleus interaction observed in the deeply bound pionic atoms directly implies the reduction of the in-medium quark condensate. The knowledge of the in-medium pion mass m_{pi}* is not necessary to reach this conclusion.
