Research activity:
In the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics, hadrons, which participate in Strong Interactions, are described by the gauge field theory called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and regarded as bound states of quarks and gluons. Due to the Confinement mechanism, quarks and gluons are never observed by themselves and only the composite particles, hadrons, are observed. It is therefore of primary importance to understand QCD bound states to really understand Strong Interactions. However, bound states in a relativistic field theory like QCD are complicated combinations of multi-particle states in which all of the quantum fluctuation scales are coupled: they are really very complicated non-perturbative dynamical systems.
QCD is the "ultimate theory" of Strong Interactions and is expected to be responsible (ultimately) for the (most of) structures and interactions of all hadrons, including various nuclei. It is however extremely difficult to explain the properties of (stable) nuclei directly in terms of QCD. After all, we usually exploit some phenomenological "realistic nuclear forces" to explain the properties, admittedly it is a very retrogressive way from the point of view that we already have the "ultimate theory". Although it is unlikely that we can describe nuclei directly in terms of quark-gluon degrees of freedom, it is worthwhile clarifying what we can say directly from the dynamics of QCD, without recourse to phenomenological models.
Following the idea given above, I study how to describe hadrons by using Effective Field Theory. Effective Field Theory is a framework which has the connection to QCD through chiral symmetry breaking, and allows systematic improvement of the approximation. In particular, I am interested in applying the ideas of Wilsonian Renormalization Group to Nuclear Effective Field Theory to figure out the characteristic features of the dynamics.
I studied high-density nuclear systems at low temperatures, which cannot be investigated in the lattice QCD approach, by using lattice simulations of the Nuclear Effective Field Theory.
Educational activity:
As a member of Faculty of Arts and Science, I am involved very much in education for the freshmen.
I also give seminars and have meetings for the graduates in the group of Theory of Subatomic Physics and Astrophysics beside giving everyday supervision.

Membership in Academic Society
- Dynamical properties of the cosmological first-order phase transition
keyword : false vacuum, phase transition, origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter
2022.04. - Lattice simulations of finite-density nucleon systems based on nulear effective field theory
keyword : lattice theory, effective field theory, numerical simulations
2013.10～2017.03. - Application of nonperturbative renormalization group methods to three-body systems

2011.08～2013.05. - Application of effective field theory to nuclear reactions
keyword : effective field theory, nuclear reactions
2008.09～2009.03We consider the applications of effective field theory to nuclear reactions at intermediate energies.. - Apparently noninvariant terms in field theory with nonlinearly realized symmetries
keyword : nonlinear sigma models, radiative corrections, perturbation theory
2008.05～2009.08There emerge apparently noninvariant terms in nonlinearly realized field theories, such as nonlinear sigma models, in the effective potential calculated perturbatively. The emergence of such terms do not imply that the symmetry is lost. We show that such a phenomenon is a general feature and why they emerge.. - Renormalization group analysis for the $V_{low k}$ potential
keyword : renormalization group, effective interactions, nuclear forces
2007.08～2008.04We pointed out that there are problems in the derivations of the renormalization group equation given in the literature for the so-called V_{low k} effective potential for the nuclear forces.. - Wilsonian Renormalization Group and Nuclear Effective Field Thoery
keyword : renormalization, effective field theory, nontrivial fixed point, power counting
2004.04We analyze the behavior of Nuclear Effective Filed Theory(NEFT),which describe the interactions of nucleons at low energies, by using Wilsonian Renormalization Group. In particular, we determine the power counting of NEFT by the scaling dimensions of the operators.. - An Effecitive Theory Approach to Skyrme Model and Application to Pentaquarks
keyword : Skyrme model, pentaquark
2003.02～2004.10We develop a new approach to Skyrme model based on the most general chiral effective theory of mesons. The theory contains a set of new interactions, which have never been considered. Based on this new theory, we compute some properties, such as masses and decay widths, of the recently discovered pentaquarks.. - Large-$N_c$ QCD and nontriviality of low-energy effective field theory
keyword : large-N_c, QCD, effective field theory, renormalization, renormalization group
2001.07The purpose of the research is to show that it is possible to understand the "unnatural" bahaviors in the low-energy region of strong interactions in the light of $1/N_c$ expansion..
