CONNECTION BETWEEN EFFECTIVE CHIRAL LAGRANGIANS AND LANDAU-MIGDAL FERMI-LIQUID THEORY OF NUCLEAR-MATTER

This lecture is based in part on work done in collaboration with G.E. Brown and on a recent paper co-authored with Bengt Friman. It deals wi th making a connection between effective chiral Lagrangians - low-ener gy effective theory of QCD - and Landau Fermi liquid theory extended b y Migdal to nuclear matter. I discuss how to obtain a link between obs ervables in relativistic heavy-ion processes and low-energy spectrosco pic data, giving a new insight into how chiral dynamics manifests itse lf in nuclear systems.
