Scalar pseudo-Goldstones from hypothetical $SU(3)_V$ symmetry breaking in QCD

The eight light pseudoscalar mesons of QCD are the pseudo-Goldstone bosons of the spontaneously broken chiral (axial) $SU(3)_A$ quark flavor symmetry. If we consider the hypothetical case of also ...

Interpretation of vector mesons in QCD

It is well-known that scalar mesons are interpreted as pseudogoldstone bosons which is connected with spontaneous broken $SU(3) \times SU(3)$ symmetry to $SU(3) \times SU(3) / SU(3)_{chiral}$. Is ...
