By extending the Bielefeld LGS (Lattice Gauge Simulation) color singlet interaction, we find that the masses of pi, sigma, rho and a_1 excitations, 32 degrees of freedom in all, go to zero (in the chiral limit) as T -> T_c. This result…

In this paper, chiral symmetry breaking and its restoration are investigated in the mean field approximation of Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. A first-order phase transition exists at low temperature, but is smeared out at high temperature. We…
As the chirally restored phase ends with T coming down to T_c, a phase resembling a mixed phase is realized, during which the hadrons (which are massless at T_c in the chiral limit) get their masses back out of their kinetic energy. The…
We test the stability of the mean-field solution in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. For stable solutions with respect to both the \sigma and \pi directions, we investigate effects of the mesonic loop corrections of 1/N_c, which correspond to…
The low energy dynamics of a certain D-brane configuration in string theory is described at weak t'Hooft coupling by a non-local version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We study this system at finite temperature and strong t'Hooft…

In the hadronic sector of relativistic heavy ion physics, the $\rho <=> 2\pi$ reaction is the strongest one, strong enough to equilibrate the $\rho$ with the pions throughout the region from chemical freezeout to thermal freezeout when…
We study the large-N_c behavior of the critical temperature T_c for chiral symmetry restoration in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the linear \sigma-model. While in the NJL case T_c scales as N_c^0 and is, as…
We compare two different possibilities to include meson-loop corrections in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model: a strict 1/N_c-expansion in next-to-leading order and a non-perturbative scheme corresponding to a one-meson-loop approximation to the…
