We study the phases of a two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model at finite temperature $T$, baryon and isospin chemical potentials: $\mu_{B}=(\mu_{u}+\mu_{d})/2$, $\mu_{I}=(\mu_{u}-\mu_{d})/2$. This study completes a previous analysis where…

We calculate the $^1S_0$ pairing gap in nuclear matter by adopting the "in-medium Bonn potential" proposed by Rapp et al. [e-print nucl-th/9706006], which takes into account the in-medium meson mass decrease, as the particle-particle…

Employing the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, we present a computation of the space-like baryonic form factor for the pion and kaon. In the exact isospin-symmetric limit this observable is forbidden by $G$-parity, so that any nonzero signal…
We present the first elliptic flow, $v_{2}$, measurement for the $\phi$-meson in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV. At low $p_{T}$ (<2 GeV/c), the $v_{2}$ is consistent with mass ordering expected from hydrodynamics, while at…

We study the soft mode along the critical line in the phase diagram with the tricritical point, using the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. At the critical point with finite quark mass, the ordering density becomes a linear combination of the…

The baryon form factor of charged pions arises since isospin symmetry is broken with unequal up and down quark masses, $m_d>m_u$, as well as electromagnetic effects. We obtain estimates for this basic property in two phenomenological ways:…
Current measurements of isospin splittings in mesons and baryons are sufficiently precise that they allow estimates of the mass difference between constituent up and down quarks. Some previous results are updated in the light of these new…
A review of the recent results obtained in the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model is given. In particular, the effect of screening of meson fields at finite temperature or density is analyzed and the formulation of a chirally invariant transport…
