We calculate within the Extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model the leading in $1/N_c$ contribution to $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ to all orders in the external momenta and quark masses. This result is then combined with the known two-loop…
We evaluate the amplitude for $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \pi^0 \pi^0$ to two loops in chiral perturbation theory. The three new counterterms which enter at this order in the low-energy expansion are estimated with resonance saturation. We…
Within the Extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio model, we calculate the $O(p^6)$ counterterms entering the low-energy expansion of the $\gamma \gamma \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ and the $\eta \to \pi^0 \gamma \gamma$ amplitudes in Chiral Perturbation Theory.…

We complete the recalculation of the available two-loop expressions for the reaction \gamma\gamma->\pi\pi in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Here, we present the results for charged pions. The cross section and the values of…
We review the cross sections for low-energy $\pi^- \gamma$ reactions in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Charged pion Compton scattering, $\pi^- \gamma\to \pi^-\gamma$, is considered up to one-loop order where the pion's…

The thermodynamic potential and thermal dependence of low lying mass spectra of scalars and pseudoscalars are evaluated in a generalized Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model, which incorporates eight-quark interactions. These are necessary to…
In the model the entire high-energy part of the amplitude (Regge power dependence from the total energy) comes as consequence of Gribov's diffusion of the constituent quarks in the space of rapidities and impact parameters. Charge exchange…
We apply Bogolubov approach to QCD with two light quarks to demonstrate a spontaneous generation of an effective interaction, leading to the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model. The resulting theory contains two parameters: average low-energy value…
An extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with chiral group $U(2)\times U(2)$ and spin-0 and spin-1 four quark interactions is used to develop the gauge covariant approach to the diagonalization of the $\pi-a_1$ mixing in the presence of…
In view of ongoing experimental activities to determine the pion polarizabilities, we have started to recalculate the available two-loop expressions in the framework of chiral perturbation theory, because they have never been checked…
The processes $\tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_{\tau}$ and $e^{+}e^{-} \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ are considered within the chiral Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with taking into account the pion final state interactions beyond the leading $1/N_c$…
The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is supplemented by the quark interaction generated by the one-gluon exchange. The employed gluon propagator exhibits the correct large momentum behavior of QCD, whereas the Landau-pole at low energies is…
The low-energy $\pi\pi$ amplitude is computed explicitly to two-loop accuracy in the chiral expansion. It depends only on six independent (combinations of) low-energy constants which are not fixed by chiral symmetry. Four of these constants…
We present a derivation of the low energy effective action of an extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio (ENJL) model to $O(p^4)$ in the chiral counting. Two alternative scenarios are considered on how the ENJL model could originate as a low energy…
We derive a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model from a non-local gauge theory and show that it has confining properties at low energies. In particular, we present an extended approach to non-local QCD and a complete revision of the technique of…
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…
Leading-order electromagnetic loop corrections to the one-pion-exchange potential are computed within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. These corrections generate an effective nucleon-nucleon potential, $V_{\pi \gamma}$, which…
We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the double-pion photoproduction processes $\pi^-\gamma \to \pi^- \pi^0\pi^0$ and $\pi^-\gamma\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^-$ at low energies. At leading order these reactions are governed by the chiral…
