A Chiral Symmetry Approach to Meson Condensations

Abstract

Various types of meson condensations are discussed within the chiral symmetry approach. For P-wave pion condensations, some realistic effects such as inclusion of the isobar .d(l232), baryon-baryon short range correlations, and form factors are taken into account in a simple way; inclusion of isobar is described in terms of SU(4) constituent quark model and short range correlations are simulated by the minimal interactions with the Landau-Migdal parameter. Kaon condensation by virtue of s-wave condensation is also described in a similar framework.
