Abstract

Recent progress on isospin symmetry breaking in hadrons is presented. Results from our first study of Nf=2+1 QCD+QED calculation using chiral lattice quark, domain-wall fermions, are reported [1], which include determination of up, down strange quark masses, two origins of isospin breaking, correction to Dashen's theorem and the neutron-proton mass splittings. Related recent works [2,3] are also briefly mentioned along with the main content of the talk.
