Abstract

We analyze the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (Dχ\chiSB) in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model by using the non-perturbative renormalization group (NPRG) equation. The equation takes a form of two-dimensional partial differential equation for the multi-fermion effective interactions V(x,t)V(x,t) where xx is ψˉψ\bar\psi\psi operator and tt is the logarithm of the renormalization scale. The Dχ\chiSB occurs due to the quantum corrections, which means it emerges at some finite tct_{\rm c} in the mid of integrating the equation with respect to tt. At tct_{\rm c} some singularities suddenly appear in VV which is compulsory in the spontaneous symmetry breakdown. Therefore there is no solution of the equation beyond tct_{\rm c}. We newly introduce the notion of weak solution to get the global solution including the infrared limit tt\rightarrow \infty and investigate its properties. The obtained weak solution is global and unique, and it perfectly describes the physically correct vacuum even in case of the first order phase transition appearing in finite density medium. The key logic of deduction is that the weak solution we defined automatically convexifies the effective potential when treating the singularities.
