We present a consistent implementation of weak decays involving an axion or axion-like particle in the context of an effective chiral Lagrangian. We argue that previous treatments of such processes have used an incorrect representation of the flavor-changing quark currents in the chiral theory. As an application, we derive model-independent results for the decays $K^-topi^- a$ and $pi^-to e^-bar u_e a$ at leading order in the chiral expansion and for arbitrary axion couplings and mass. In particular, we find that the $K^-topi^- a$ branching ratio is almost 40 times larger than previously estimated.

Equivalence of the hidden local symmetry formulation with non-minimal interactions and the anti-symmetric tensor field method of $rho$ and $a_1$ mesons in the chiral lagrangian is shown by using the auxiliary field method. Violation of the KSRF I rel
ation, which becomes important in the application of chiral lagrangian to {em non QCD-like} technicolor models can be parametrized by non-minimal coupling in the hidden local symmetry formalism keeping low energy theorem of hidden local symmetry. We also obtain explicit correspondence of parameters in both formulations.
We add a nonstandard higgs into the traditional bosonic part of electroweak chiral Lagrangian, in purpose of finding out the contribution to EWCL coefficients from processes with internal line higgs particle. To construct the effective Lagrangian wit
h higgs, we use low energy expansion scheme and write down all the independent terms conserving $SU(2)times U_Y(1)$ symmetry in the nonlinear representation which we show is equivalent to the linear representation. Then we integrate out higgs using loop expansion technique at 1-loop level, contributions from all possible terms are obtained. We find three terms, $mathcal{L}_5$, $mathcal{L}_7$, $mathcal{L}_{10}$ in EWCL are important, for which the contributions from higgs can be further expressed in terms of higgs partial decay width $Gamma_{hto ZZ}$ and $Gamma_{hto WW}$. Higg mass dependence of the coefficients in EWCL are discussed.
A new formalism to calculate the in-medium chiral condensate is presented. At lower densities, this approach leads to a linear expression. If we demand a compatibility with the famous model-independent result, then the pion-nucleon sigma term should
be six times the average current mass of light quarks. QCD-like interactions may slow the decreasing behavior of the condensate with increasing densities, compared with the linear extrapolation, if densities are lower than twice the nuclear saturation density. At higher densities, the condensate vanishes inevitably.
We discuss the sensitivity of the $e^+ e^- rightarrow W^+ W^-$ cross section at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider with $sqrt{s}=500$GeV to the non-decoupling effects of a techni-$rho$ like vector resonance. The non-decoupling effects are parametrized by th
e chiral coefficients of the electroweak chiral perturbation theory. We define renormalization scale independent chiral coefficients by subtracting the Standard Model loop contributions. We also estimate the size of the decoupling effects of the techni-$rho$ resonance by using a phenomenological Lagrangian including the vector resonance.
The QCD improved parton model is a very successful concept to treat processes in hadronic interactions, whenever large partonic transverse momenta are involved. However, cross sections diverge in the limit p_T -> 0, and the usual treatment is the def
inition of a lower cutoff p_T_min, such that processes with a smaller p_T -- so-called soft processes -- are simply ignored, which is certainly not correct for example at RHIC energies. A more consistent procedure amounts to introduce a technical parameter Q_0^2, referred to as soft virtuality scale, which is nothing but an artificial borderline between soft and hard physics. We will discuss such a formalism, which coincides with the improved parton model for high p_T processes and with the phenomenological treatment of soft scattering, when only small virtualities are involved. The most important aspect of our approach is that it allows to obtain a smooth transition between soft and hard scattering, and therefore no artificial dependence on a cutoff parameter should appear.
