Mesonic correlation functions at finite temperature in the NJL model – p.1/28
Motivation
Properties of dense matter −→ diquark condensation and color superconductivity
Inapplicability of weak coupling techniques −→ densities/temperatures ofphenomenological interest
Nonperturbative lattice techniques are not yet sufficiently developed to deal withsuch problems
Phenomenological models −→ to make progress in the field.
Nonrenormalizable four-fermion interactions −→ aspects of dynamical chiralsymmetry breaking (DχSB) and high density/temperature quark matter.

At one loop approximation, the gap equation is given by
M = 48GMˆ

where Iquad(M2) is the quadratically divergent integral
Iquad(M2) =

The traditional approach −→ three- or four-momentum cutoff Λ
The finite integral I(T ) containing the Fermi-Dirac distributions is also cutoff
In this way leaving out the high-momentum components

The self-energy satisfies the following relationsa
Re Π = Re Π11

f(k/Λ), where Λ is a parameter with the dimensions of momentum such that

In the vacuum part we have basic divergent objects, Iquad(M2) and Ilog(M2),which should be treated in order to make a numerical analysis. One convenientapproach is to fit them using the following results of the NJL model

Conclusions
Hadronic correlation functions −→ 0 (absence of asymptotic freedom)
With implicit regularization scheme:
we obtain results which are consistent with all chiral properties
we avoid global and gauge symmetry violations, breaking of causality andunitarity
scaling relations −→ short-distances effects −→ quark mass increases
NJL model gives good results for hadronic correlation functions at low energies

Future applications
Momentum dependence of hadronic correlation functions (work in progressa)
consider finite three-momentum in our calculations
compare with recent lattice results
