Vector Manifestation of Chiral Symmetry
Abstract
In this talk I summarize main features of the vector manifestation (VM) which was recently proposed as a novel manifestation of the Wigner realization of chiral symmetry in which the symmetry is restored at the critical point by the massless degenerate pion (and its flavor partners) and the ρ meson (and its flavor partners) as the chiral partner. I show how the VM is formulated in the effective field theory of QCD based on the hidden local symmetry and realized in the large flavor QCD as well as in hot and/or dense QCD.
