Ratio for the Transition in the Chiral Quark Soliton Model
We calculate the electric quadrupole to magnetic dipole transition ratio
for the reaction \gamma N \ra \Delta(1232) in the chiral quark
soliton model. The calculated ratio is in a good agreement with the
very new experimental data. We obtain non-zero negative value for the electric
quadrupole transition moment, which suggests an oblate deformed
charge structure of the nucleon or/and the delta isobar. Other observables
related to this quantity, namely the mass splitting, the isovector
charge radius, and isovector magnetic moment, are properly reproduced as well.Comment: 11 pages, revtex, a figure included as a postscript fil
B=1 Soliton of the Nambu - Jona-Lasinio model in medium}
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
blocking effect. We found that with an increasing density the medium
destabilizes the soliton. At finite medium density the soliton mass gets
reduced whereas the mean square baryon radius shows an increase - a swelling of
the soliton. At some critical density of about two times nuclear matter density
there is no localized solution - the soliton disappears.Comment: PHYSTEX, 14 pages, 5 figures (available upon request), Preprint

B=3 Tetrahedrally Symmetric Solitons in the Chiral Quark Soliton Model
In this paper, B=3 soliton solutions with tetrahedral symmetry are obtained
numerically in the chiral quark soliton model using the rational map ansatz.
The solution exhibits a triply degenerate bound spectrum of the quark orbits in
the background of tetrahedrally symmetric pion field configuration. The
corresponding baryon density is tetrahedral in shape. Our numerical technique
is independent on the baryon number and its application to is
straightforward.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Rotational Corrections to and Isovector Magnetic Moment of the Nucleon
The rotational corrections to the axial vector constant and the
isovector magnetic moment of the nucleon are studied in the Nambu --
Jona-Lasinio model. We follow a semiclassical quantization procedure in terms
of path integrals in which we can include perturbatively corrections in powers
of angular velocity . We find non-zero order
corrections from both the valence and the Dirac sea quarks. These corrections
are large enough to resolve the long-standing problem of a strong
underestimation of both and in the leading order. The axial
constant is well reproduced, whereas the isovector magnetic moment
is still underestimated by 25 \%.Comment: (Revtex), 10 pages (3 figures available on request), report

Light-flavor sea-quark distributions in the nucleon in the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model (I) -- phenomenological predictions --
Theoretical predictions are given for the light-flavor sea-quark
distributions including the strange quark ones on the basis of the flavor SU(3)
version of the chiral quark soliton model. Careful account is taken here of the
SU(3) symmetry breaking effects due to the mass difference between the strange
and nonstrange quarks. This effective mass difference between the
strange and nonstrange quarks is the only one parameter necessary for the
flavor SU(3) generalization of the model. A particular emphasis of study is put
on the {\it light-flavor sea-quark asymmetry} as exemplified by the observables
as well as on the {\it particle-antiparticle asymmetry} of
the strange quark distributions represented by etc. As for the unpolarized
sea-quark distributions, the predictions of the model seem qualitatively
consistent with the available phenomenological information provided by the NMC
data for , the E866 data for , the CCFR data and Barone et al.'s fit for etc. The
model is shown to give several unique predictions also for the spin-dependent
sea-quark distribution, such that and , although the verification
of these predictions must await more elaborate experimental investigations in
the near future.Comment: 36 pages, 20 EPS figures. The revised version accepted for
publication in Phys. Rev. D. The title has been changed, and the body of the
paper has been divided into two pieces, i.e.. the present one which discusses
the main phenomenological predictions of the model and the other one which
describes the detailed formulation of the flavor SU(3) chiral quark soliton
model to predict light-flavor quark and antiquark distribution functions in
the nucleo
Pion light-cone wave function and pion distribution amplitude in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model
We compute the pion light-cone wave function and the pion quark distribution
amplitude in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We use the Pauli-Villars
regularization method and as a result the distribution amplitude satisfies
proper normalization and crossing properties. In the chiral limit we obtain the
simple results, namely phi_pi(x)=1 for the pion distribution amplitude, and
= -M / f_pi^2 for the second moment of the pion light-cone
wave function, where M is the constituent quark mass and f_pi is the pion decay
constant. After the QCD Gegenbauer evolution of the pion distribution amplitude
good end-point behavior is recovered, and a satisfactory agreement with the
analysis of the experimental data from CLEO is achieved. This allows us to
determine the momentum scale corresponding to our model calculation, which is
close to the value Q_0 = 313 MeV obtained earlier from the analogous analysis
of the pion parton distribution function. The value of is, after the
QCD evolution, around (400 MeV)^2. In addition, the model predicts a linear
integral relation between the pion distribution amplitude and the parton
distribution function of the pion, which holds at the leading-order QCD
evolution.Comment: mistake in Eq.(38) correcte
Baryons as non-topological chiral solitons
The present review gives a survey of recent developments and applications of
the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with and quark flavors for the
structure of baryons. The model is an effective chiral quark theory which
incorporates the SU(N)SU(N)U(1) approximate
symmetry of Quantum chromodynamics. The approach describes the spontaneous
chiral symmetry breaking and dynamical quark mass generation. Mesons appear as
quark-antiquark excitations and baryons arise as non-topological solitons with
three valence quarks and a polarized Dirac sea. For the evaluation of the
baryon properties the present review concentrates on the non-linear
Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with quark and Goldstone degrees of freedom which is
identical to the Chiral quark soliton model obtained from the instanton liquid
model of the QCD vacuum. In this non-linear model, a wide variety of
observables of baryons of the octet and decuplet is considered. These include,
in particular, electromagnetic, axial, pseudoscalar and pion nucleon form
factors and the related static properties like magnetic moments, radii and
coupling constants of the nucleon as well as the mass splittings and
electromagnetic form factors of hyperons. Predictions are given for the strange
form factors, the scalar form factor and the tensor charge of the nucleon.Comment: 104 pages, 27 figures as uuencoded and compressed postscript files ,

Solution of the Kwiecinski evolution equations for unintegrated parton distributions using the Mellin transform
The Kwiecinski equations for the QCD evolution of the unintegrated parton
distributions in the transverse-coordinate space (b) are analyzed with the help
of the Mellin-transform method. The equations are solved numerically in the
general case, as well as in a small-b expansion which converges fast for b
Lambda_QCD sufficiently small. We also discuss the asymptotic limit of large bQ
and show that the distributions generated by the evolution decrease with b
according to a power law. Numerical results are presented for the pion
distributions with a simple valence-like initial condition at the low scale,
following from chiral large-N_c quark models. We use two models: the Spectral
Quark Model and the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Formal aspects of the equations,
such as the analytic form of the b-dependent anomalous dimensions, their
analytic structure, as well as the limits of unintegrated parton densities at x
-> 0, x -> 1, and at large b, are discussed in detail. The effect of spreading
of the transverse momentum with the increasing scale is confirmed, with
growing asymptotically as Q^2 alpha(Q^2). Approximate formulas for
for each parton species is given, which may be used in practical
applications.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, RevTe
Real and Virtual Compton Scattering off the Nucleon
A review is given of the very recent developments in the fields of real and
virtual Compton scattering off the nucleon. Both real and virtual Compton
scattering reactions are discussed at low outgoing photon energy where one
accesses polarizabilities of the nucleon. The real Compton scattering at large
momentum transfer is discussed which is asymptotically a tool to obtain
information on the valence quark wave function of the nucleon. The rapid
developments in deeply virtual Compton scattering and associated meson
electroproduction reactions at high energy, high photon virtuality and small
momentum transfer to the nucleon are discussed. A unified theoretical
description of those processes has emerged over the last few years, which gives
access to new, generalized parton distributions. The experimental status and
perspectives in these fields are also discussed.Comment: 25 pages, 17 figure
Magnetic Oscillations in Dense Cold Quark Matter with Four-Fermion Interactions
The phase structures of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models with one or two flavours
have been investigated at non-zero values of and , where is an
external magnetic field and is the chemical potential. In the phase
portraits of both models there arise infinitely many massless chirally
symmetric phases, as well as massive ones with spontaneously broken chiral
invariance, reflecting the existence of infinitely many Landau levels. Phase
transitions of first and second orders and a lot of tricritical points have
been shown to exist in phase diagrams. In the massless case, such a phase
structure leads unavoidably to the standard van Alphen-de Haas magnetic
oscillations of some thermodynamical quantities, including magnetization,
pressure and particle density. In the massive case we have found an oscillating
behaviour not only for thermodynamical quantities, but also for a dynamical
quantity as the quark mass. Besides, in this case we have non-standard, i.e.
non-periodic, magnetic oscillations, since the frequency of oscillations is an
-dependent quantity.Comment: latex, 29 pages, 8 figure
