Effective chiral lagrangians for spin-1 mesons

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

The commonly used types of effective theory for vector mesons are reviewed and their relationships clarified. They are shown to correspond to different choices of field for spin-1 particles and the rules for transforming between them are described. The importance of respecting chiral symmetry is stressed. The choice of fields that transform homogeneously under the nonlinear realisation of chiral symmetry imposes no preconceptions about the types of coupling for the mesons. This representation thus provides a convenient framework for relating different theories. It is also used to elucidate the nature of the assumptions in specific hiddengauge and massive Yang-Mills models that have been widely used.
