Functional Integral Approaches to the Bosonization of Effective Multi-Quark Interactions with U_A(1) Breaking

Low energy hadron phenomenology involving the (u,d,s) quarks is often approached through effective multi-quark Lagrangians with the symmetries of QCD. A very successful approach consists in taking the four-quark Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Lagrangianwith the chiral $U_L(3)imes U_R(3)$ symmetry in the massle...
