We study two aspects of the CFL phase of QCD in the NJL approximation. The first one is the issue of the dependence on \mu of the ultraviolet cutoff in the gap equation, which is solved allowing a running coupling constant. The second one…
We study quantum chromodynamics from the viewpoint of untruncated Dyson-Schwinger equations turned to an ordinary differential equation for the gluon anomalous dimension. This nonlinear equation is parameterized by a function P(x) which is…

We argue that the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model which introduces four-quark interactions to describe hadron physics at low energies can be confronted with fundamental quantum chromodynamics by means of spectral sum rules. While there…
We derive the low-energy limit of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and provide evidence that in the 't Hooft limit, i.e. for a very large number of colors and increasing 't Hooft coupling, quark confinement is recovered. The low energy limit of…

We investigate quantum chromodynamics with two colors at nonvanishing density using Dyson-Schwinger equations. Lattice methods do not have a complex action problem in this theory. Thus, we can benchmark our results and the effect of…
We derive gluon fragmentation functions in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model by treating a gluon as a pair of color lines formed by fictitious quark and anti-quark ($q\bar q$). Gluon elementary fragmentation functions are obtained from the…
In QCD with two light quarks with application of Bogolubov quasi-averages approach a possibility of spontaneous generation of an effective interaction, leading to the Nambu -- Jona-Lazinio model, is studied. Compensation equations for…
Usual treatment of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model using loop momentum cutoff suffers from ambiguities in choosing the loop momenta to be cut off and violation of (external) gauge invariance. We define the NJL model from the starting…
In recent years light-front quantisation has been extended to allow for a consistent treatment of systems at finite temperature and density. This is in particular interesting for an investigation of the processes in nuclear matter under…

We generalize a non-local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model to a generic representation of the gauge group. The critical temperature is given in a closed form as a function of the parameters of the theory and the cut-off. This result is generally…
