Effective Lagrangian Models for Gauge Theories of Fundamental Interactions

Abstract

In this thesis we show that the effective Lagrangian models, encoding the relevant symmetries of the underlying fundamental gauge theory for strong interactions (QCD), provide a reasonable understanding of the interactions among Light Mesons at intermediate energies as well as of the properties of Heavy Baryons.
