We describe how the non-local regularization can be implemented in the calculation of solitons in the Nambu Jona-Lasinio model as well as in the equivalent linear sigma-model. We investigate different forms of regulators and show that the…

The solitonic sector of the Nambu - Jona-Lasinio model with baryon number one is solved in the presence of an external medium. The calculations fully include the polarization of both the Dirac sea and the medium as well as the Pauli…
We describe the formation of solitons in NJL-type models and discuss the influence of the regularization scheme on the stability of the solution. We concentrate on models with non-local regulators in which stable solutions exist without…
Two variants of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model -- the model with 4-dimensional cutoff and the model with dimensionally-analytical regularization -- are systematically compared. It is shown that they are, in essence, two different models of…
In the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model baryons are either considered as quark-diquark-composites or the soliton configurations of the model are interpreted as baryons. As a first step towards constructing a hybrid model, which possesses a…
The description of baryons as chiral solitons of the Nambu--Jona--Lasinio (NJL) model is reviewed. A motivation for the soliton description of baryons is provided from large $N_C$ QCD. Rigorous results on the spontaneous breaking of chiral…
In the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL-) model baryons are considered either as quark-diquark-composites or as soliton configurations of mesons. The construction of a hybrid model, which possesses a dynamical interplay between both pictures, is…
We give a survey of recent development and applications of the chiral quark soliton model (also called the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio soliton model) with $N_f$=2 and $N_f$=3 quark flavors for the structure of baryons. The model is an effective…
The self-consistent chiral soliton of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model including the $\omega,\rho$ and $a_1$ (axial-) vector meson fields besides the chiral angle is investigated. The resulting energy spectrum of the one particle Dirac…
The electric polarizability of the nucleon is calculated in the soliton approach to the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We analyze the leading-$N_c$ contributions, as well as the effects of rotational $1/N_c$ corrections and $\Delta$-$N$ mass…
The Bethe--Salpeter equation for pion fluctuations off the chiral soliton in the Nambu--Jona--Lasinio model is constructed. By Goldstone's theorem this equation has rotational and translational zero modes because the classical soliton is a…
The Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model is widely used to study strong-interaction phenomena in vacuum and quark matter. Since the model is nonrenormalizable, one needs to work within a specific regularization scheme to obtain finite results. Here we…
In this paper we study a (1+1)-dimensional version of the famous Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD2) both at zero and finite hadron density. We use non-perturbative techniques (non-Abelian bosonization and Truncated…
This research summarizes work done by myself (Nucl.Phys.{\bf A641} (1998)461), or in collaboration with R. M. Davidson (Phys.Lett.{\bf B348}(1995)163) and H. Weigel and L. Gamberg (Nucl.Phys.{\bf B560}(1999)xx). I will discuss several…
We study nucleon structure functions in the soliton picture of the bosonized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We focus on their vacuum contributions and examine whether they are outweighed by their valence quark counterparts.
A regularization scheme that explicitly separates vacuum contributions from medium effects is applied to a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with diquark interactions and in $\beta-$equilibrium. We perform a comparison of this proposed scheme with…
