We evaluate the nucleon sigma term and in-medium quark condensate in the modified quark-meson coupling model which features a density-dependent bag constant. We obtain a nucleon sigma term consistent with its empirical value, which requires…

We study, by numerical simulations on a lattice, the behaviour of the gauge-invariant nonlocal quark condensates in the QCD vacuum both in the quenched approximation and with four flavours of dynamical staggered fermions. The correlation…
First, the L\sigma M is nonperturbatively solved via loop-order gap equations. Then the Nambu-Goldstone theorem (NGT) is expressed in L\sigma M language. Next, the Lee null tadpole sum for this SU(2) L\sigma M theory is shown to require N_c…

The potential between infinitely heavy quarks in a color singlet state is of fundamental importance in QCD. While the confining long distance part is inherently non-perturbative, the short-distance (Coulomb-like) regime is accessible…
We show that the quark (not nucleon) based chiral linear $\sigma$ model which receives strong support as a mean field theory for the strong interactions can actually be made asymptotically free by coupling to gluons. It has the further…
A continuum expression for the trace of the massive dressed-quark propagator is used to explicate a connection between the infrared limit of the QCD Dirac operator's spectrum and the quark condensate appearing in the operator product…
We present a novel treatment for calculating the in-medium quark condensates. The advantage of this approach is that one does not need to make further assumptions on the derivatives of model parameters with respect to the quark current…
The scalar confinement in QCD is shown to produce the nonzero quark condensate for any current quark mass. Mechanisms for the Chiral Symmetry breaking and for the nonzero quark condensates are revealed. For the light and strange flavors the…
A new formalism to calculate the in-medium chiral condensate is presented. At lower densities, this approach leads to a linear expression. If we demand a compatibility with the famous model-independent result, then the pion-nucleon sigma…
We study the evolution with density of the quark condensate in the nuclear medium with interacting nucleons and including the short range correlations. We work with two chiral models, the linear sigma model and the non-linear one. For the…
Within a linear sigma model framework, possible mixing between two chiral nonets (a two quark nonet, and a four quark nonet) below 2 GeV is studied. Incorporating the U(1)$_A$ behavior of the underlying QCD, and working in the isospin…

We study the quark-gluon mixed condensate g<\bar{q} sigma G q>, which is another chiral order parameter, using the SU(3)c lattice QCD with the Kogut-Susskind(KS) fermion at the quenched level. We generate 100 gauge configurations on the…
A generalized linear sigma model is employed to study the quark structure of low lying scalar as well as pseudoscalar states. The model allows the possible mixing of quark anti-quark states with others made of two quarks and two antiquarks…
