Title: Chiral Gap Effect

Abstract: QCD physicists have introduced various external parameters to probe new states of QCD matter such as the high temperature, the high baryon density, the strong magnetic field, etc.  Then, what could be interesting next?  In my talk I would like to emphasize a new direction to introduce a curvature effect that has a lot of potential in the future.  I will start with physics motivations and proceed to the nature of fermionic (quark) matter under a positive and negative scalar curvature.  I will also mention on our recent proposal for a new "catalysis" scenario of the chiral symmetry breaking induced by a strong magnetic field on top of curvature.
