Extended Chiral Quark Models in the Framework of Quantum Chromodynamic: Theory and their Applications in Hot and Dense Mediums

In this review article, we give overview on the extended chiral quark models. In particular, how these models are extended to include the higher-order interactions, quantized fields, logarithmic potential and the effect of these modifications on hadron properties at hot and dense mediums. In addition, how we deal with non-normalization of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model by using mid-point technique. Therefore, the extended quark models give satisfied results in comparison with lattice QCD at finite temperature and baryonic chemical potential. The extra effort is needed to deal with chiral quark models in the presence of external magnetic field at finite temperature and density.

Keywords: The chiral quark model, finite temperature field theory, hadron properties.
