RLJ, Pirjol, Scardicchio If one attempts to realize chiral symmetry in a linear way on a subset of states in a world with spontaneous symmetry breaking and massless pions, the chiral symmetry in fact gives no relations among the properties of these states, such as masses and couplings. Such predictions, that are typical of a symmetry realized in the Wigner-Weyl mode, would hold only if certain chirally invariant operators are dynamically suppressed.If one attempts to realize chiral symmetry in a linear way on a subset of states in a world with spontaneous symmetry breaking and massless pions, the chiral symmetry in fact gives no relations among the properties of these states, such as masses and couplings.
