We mainly focus on the Nambu-Goldstone phase below the critical value of the chemical potential mu_c ~ 320 MeV, which is determined consistently within the present framework. The breakdown of Lorentz invariance at finite density being considered, the time (F^t_pi) and space (F^s_pi) components are computed separately, and the corresponding results turn out to be: F^t_pi = 82.96 MeV and F^s_pi = 80.29 MeV at mu_c, respectively. Using the in-medium Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GOR) relation, we show that the pion mass increases by about 15% at mu_c.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-07-18T06:52:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.40.Aq", "13.20.Cz", "12.38.Lg" ], "keywords": [ "pion weak decay constant", "finite density", "instanton vacuum", "nonlocal chiral quark model", "pion mass increases" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2008, "month": "Sep", "volume": 666, "number": 4, "pages": 324 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 784751, "adsabs": "2008PhLB..666..324N" } } }
