Light meson spectrum and classical symmetries of QCD
  Modern spectroscopic data on light non-strange meson spectrum is analyzed. It is argued that the observed regularities of experimental spectrum for highly excited states favour a partial restoration of all approximate classical symmetries of QCD Lagrangian (conformal, chiral and axial) broken by the quantum corrections. The rate of restoration of classical symmetries is estimated. The dependence of the resonance widths from the corresponding masses is systematically checked. On average, it turns out to be universal for the high excitations as predicted by the effective string description.
