 Nambu—Jona-Lasinio Model: 
 Harvests and Youngsters Kenji Fukushima Department of Physics, the University of Tokyo ~ Nambu and Science Frontier ~ 1

NJL Model in the Past Most useful example to consider fundamental questions Dynamical origin of the mass Spontaneous symmetry breaking (Talk by Watanabe/Noumi) Most successful model to capture essence of QCD physics Ground states of QCD matter (QCD Critical Point / Color-Super / Inhomogeneity) Application to neutron star (Talk by Masuda) Nucleon structure (Faddeev eq. / Non-topological soliton) We have learnt much about good physics Harvests from NJL Nov. 17, 2015 @ Osaka 2

NJL Model in the Future Improvements to approach QCD dynamics Interplay with the gauge sector Attempts to “derive” NJL from QCD Some exotic/unsolved applications Deconfinement crossover at high density 
 Fate of symmetry in curved spacetime Diakonov’s model of spinor quantum gravity We still have so much homework (physics not yet matured) Youngsters from NJL Nov. 17, 2015 @ Osaka 3
