The Nambu–Bogoliubov–de Gennes method is applied to the problem of superconducting QCD. The effective quark–quark interaction is described within the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. The details of the phase diagram are given as a function of the strength of the quark–quark coupling constant G′. It is found that there is no superconducting phase transition when one uses the relation between the coupling constants G′ and G of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model which follows from the Fierz transformation. However, for other values of G′ one can find a rich phase structure containing both the chiral and the superconducting phase transitions.

This paper is the SU(3) extension of the dynamically generated SU(2) linear σ model Lagrangian worked out previously using dimensional regularization. After discussing the quark-level Goldberger–Treiman relations for SU(3) and the related gap equations, we dynamically generate the meson cubic and quartic couplings. This also constrains the meson–quark coupling constant to [Formula: see text] and determines the SU(3) scalar meson masses in a Nambu–Jona-Lasinio fashion. Finally we dynamically induce the U(3) pseudoscalar and scalar mixing angles in a manner compatible with data.

The stability of color-flavor locked (CFL) strangelets is studied in the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. We consider all quark flavors to be massless, for simplicity. By making use of the multiple reflection expansion, we explicitly take into account finite size effects and formulate the thermodynamic potential for CFL strangelets. We find that the CFL gap could be large enough so that the energy per baryon number of CFL strangelets is greatly affected. In addition, if the quark–quark coupling constant is larger than a certain critical value, there is a possibility of finding absolutely stable CFL strangelets.

AbstractWe study low energy implications of F-theory GUT models based on SU(5) extended by a $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ symmetry which couples non-universally to the three families of quarks and leptons. This gauge group arises naturally from the maximal exceptional gauge symmetry of an elliptically fibred internal space, at a single point of enhancement, $$E_8\supset SU(5)\times SU(5)'\supset SU(5)\times U(1)^4.$$ E 8 ⊃ S U ( 5 ) × S U ( 5 ) ′ ⊃ S U ( 5 ) × U ( 1 ) 4 . Rank-one fermion mass textures and a tree-level top quark coupling are guaranteed by imposing a $$Z_2$$ Z 2 monodromy group which identifies two abelian factors of the above breaking sequence. The $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ factor of the gauge symmetry is an anomaly free linear combination of the three remaining abelian symmetries left over by $$Z_2$$ Z 2 . Several classes of models are obtained, distinguished with respect to the $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ charges of the representations, and possible extra zero modes coming in vector-like representations. The predictions of these models are investigated and are compared with the LHC results and other related experiments. Particular cases interpreting the B-meson anomalies observed in LHCb and BaBar experiments are also discussed.
