Abstract

We use the chiral σ-ω model at zero temperature to study the role of chiral symmetry in nuclear matter. The central role played by the pion propagator in connection with the energy density of nuclear matter and the problem of chiral phase transitions is pointed out. Results obtained previously are reexamined from the standpoint of chiral symmetry. Consequences of baryon current conservation and the renormalization of the neutral vector boson field in connection with many-body problems are also treated in detail.
