Abstract

The fundamental theory of strong interaction is quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which provides dynamics of quarks and gluons. These ingredients are confined in hadrons, which are colorless particles. The original Lagrangian of QCD has the approximate chiral symmetry with very small quark masses for up and down quarks, which is spontaneously and dynamically broken to provide masses of hadronic scale to quarks and create pions as Nambu-Goldstone bosons. These fundamental physics (confinement and chiral symmetry breaking) should have a strong impact on the dynamics of hadrons and nuclei. In this chapter, the QCD Lagrangian is introduced first, and efforts to construct the QCD physics in terms of low-energy effective theory with the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) Lagrangian are presented. The model studies on linear potential, glueballs, pion spectrum, etc. in association with color confinement and chiral symmetry breaking are discussed in detail using the DGL Lagrangian. Future applications of the DGL theory to construct hadrons and nuclei are described for the challenge.
