We investigate the three flavor Nambu-Jona Lasinio model of neutral quark matter at zero temperature and finite density, keeping into account the scalar, the pseudoscalar and the Kobayashi-Maskawa-t Hooft interactions as well as the repulsive vector plus axial-vector interaction terms (vector extended NJL, VENJL in the following). We focus on the effect of the vector interaction on the chiral restoration at finite density in neutral matter. We also study the evolution of the charged pseudoscalar meson energies as a function of the quark chemical potential.
We have investigated shear viscosity of quark matter in presence of a strong uniform magnetic field background where Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model has been considered to describe the magneto-thermodynamical properties of the medium. In presence of magnetic field, shear viscosity coefficient gets split into different components because of anisotropy in tangential stress of the fluid. Four different components can be merged to two components in limit of strong field, where collisional width of quark becomes much lower than its synchrotron frequency. A simplified contact diagram of quark-quark interaction can estimate a small collisional width, where strong field limit expressions are exactly applicable. Although, for RHIC or LHC matter, one can expect a large thermal width, for which generalized four components viscosities are necessary. We have explored these all different possible cases in the thermodynamical framework of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model.
The effects of meson fluctuations are studied in a nonlocal generalization of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, by including terms of next-to-leading order (NLO) in 1/N_c. In the model with only scalar and pseudoscalar interactions NLO contributions to the quark condensate are found to be very small. This is a result of cancellation between virtual mesons and Fock terms, which occurs for the parameter sets of most interest. In the quark self-energy, similar cancellations arise in the tadpole diagrams, although not in other NLO pieces which contribute at the sim 25% level. The effects on pion properties are also found to be small. NLO contributions from real $pipi$ intermediate states increase the sigma meson mass by $sim 30%$. In an extended model with vector and axial interactions, there are indications that NLO effects could be larger.
In the present work we use the large-$N_c$ approximation to investigate quark matter described by the SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model subject to a strong magnetic field. The Landau levels are filled in such a way that usual kinks appear in the effective mass and other related quantities. $beta$-equilibrium is also considered and the macroscopic properties of a magnetar described by this quark matter is obtained. Our study shows that the magnetar masses and radii are larger if the magnetic field increases but only very large fields ($ge 10^{18}$ G) affect the EoS in a non negligible way.
We investigate the factorization hypothesis of the four-quark condensate $langle q bar{q} q bar{q} rangle = , A , langle q bar{q} rangle^2$ with the help of the Nambu Jona-Lasinio Model supplemented with eighth order interactions. For that purpose we use the bosonization method with multiple auxiliary variables. We find that in a simplified U(1) version of the model factorization holds, whereas in the full SU(3)-flavor version of the model factorization is broken by terms which are related to the t Hooft interactions.
Based on the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential, we extensively study nonperturbative renormalization of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the ladder approximation with standing gauge coupling. Although the pure Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is not renormalizable, presence of the gauge interaction makes it possible that the theory is renormalized as an interacting continuum theory at the critical line in the ladder approximation. Extra higher dimensional operators (``counter terms) are not needed for the theory to be renormalized. By virtue of the effective potential approach, the renormalization (``symmetric renormalization) is performed in a phase-independent manner both for the symmetric and the spontaneously broken phases of the chiral symmetry. We explicitly obtain $beta$ function having a nontrivial ultraviolet fixed line for the renormalized coupling as well as the bare one. In both phases the anomalous dimension is very large ($ ge 1$) without discontinuity across the fixed line. Operator product expansion is explicitly constructed, which is consistent with the large anomalous dimension owing to the appearance of the nontrivial extra power behavior in the Wilson coefficient for the unit operator. The symmetric renormalization breaks down at the critical gauge coupling, which is cured by the generalized renormalization scheme (``$tM$-dependent renormalization). Also emphasized is the formal resemblance to the four-fermion theory in less than four dimensions which is renormalizable in $1/N$ expansion.
