Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model Revisited with a Simple Regularization-Renormalization Method

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

According to the pioneering model proposed by Nambu and Jona-Lasinio (NJL) \cite{2,3}, a massless fermion acquires its mass via a vacuum phase transition (VPT) process. Our discussion is considerably simplified because an effective Hamiltonian for VPT is proposed and a simple regularization-renormalization method (RRM) is adopted. An unambiguous constraint is found as π2GΔ12=23\frac{π^2}{GΔ^2_1}=\frac{2}{3}, where GG is the coupling constant first introduced in the NJL model while Δ1Δ_1 the mass of fermion (ff) created after the VPT. The masses of bosons with spin-parity JP=0+,0−,1+J^P=0^+, 0^-,1^+ and 1−1^- as collective modes composed of fermion-antifermion pairs (ffˉf\bar{f}s) are also calculated by the method of random phase approximation (RPA).
