I review the constraints posed on the interactions of pions, nucleons and photons by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry of QCD. The framework to perform these calculations, chiral perturbation theory, is briefly discussed in the meson sector. The method is a simultaneous expansion of the Greens functions in powers of external momenta and quark masses around the massless case, the chiral limit. To perform this expansion, use is made of a phenomenological Lagrangian which encodes the Ward–identities and pertinent symmetries of QCD. The concept of chiral power counting is introduced. The main part of the lectures consists in describing how to include baryons (nucleons) and how the chiral structure is modified by the fact that the nucleon mass in the chiral limit does not vanish. Particular emphasis is put on working out applications to show the strengths and limitations of the method. Some processes which are discussed are threshold photopion production, low-energy Compton scattering off nucleons, πN scattering and the σ–term. The implications of the broken chiral symmetry on the nuclear forces are briefly described. An alternative approach, in which the baryons are treated as very heavy fields, is touched upon.

An important tool for the analysis of results of numerical simulations of lattice QCD is chiral perturbation theory. In the Wilson chiral perturbation theory the effects of the finite lattice spacingaare taken into account. In recent years the effects of isospin splitting on the masses of hadrons have been investigated in the Monte Carlo simulations. Correspondingly, in this paper we derive the expansions of the masses of the pseudoscalar mesons in chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order for twisted mass lattice QCD with three light quark flavours, taking the mass difference between the up- and downquarks into account. The results include terms up to ordersmq2in the quark masses,Δm2in the mass splitting between up- and downquarks, anda2in the lattice spacing, respectively.
