Under the spell of chiral symmetry
Abstract
In this reflection, I want to look back over more than thirty years, from 1978 to 2008, of my professional and personal relationship with Mannque Rho. I will briefly describe some of the original ideas that emerged from our collaboration: the Little Bag, the Cheshire Cat principle, and Skyrmion matter. I do not intend to be exhaustive, neither in content nor in references, which can be found in our published works. Instead, I want to retrace the path we took together through physics, accompanied by many good friends.
