We also take into account 1/N_c meson-loop (ML) corrections including scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. It turns out that the chiral condensate is modified to a large extend by the ML corrections in the vicinity of m = 0, whereas its effect becomes weak beyond m ~ 100 MeV. As numerical results, we find that chi_s = -0.34 GeV^2 with the ML corrections and 0.18 GeV^2 without it, respectively. From these observations, we conclude that the ML corrections play an important role in the presence of finite current-quark mass.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-01-05T13:49:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14.40.Aq", "12.38.Lg" ], "keywords": [ "scalar susceptibility", "meson-loop corrections", "chiral condensate", "nonlocal chiral quark model", "finite current-quark mass" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2009, "month": "Jan", "volume": 79, "number": 1, "pages": "014008" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 800304, "adsabs": "2009PhRvD..79a4008N" } } }
