Description

From the graphical representation of the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the dressed gluon propagator it is shown that the gluon propagator in the Wigner phase should be different from that in the Nambu phase. Based on this analysis, we propose a modified gluon propagator to reflect this fact. With such a modified gluon propagator, in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, we obtain the Wigner solution to the quark gap equation at finite current quark mass, which has not been found in literature. This provides a new point of view to study partial restoration of chiral symmetry at finite temperature and chemical potential. (authors)
