Abstract

Description

A regularization for the baryon number consistent with the energy in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is introduced. The soliton solution is constructed with the regularized baryon number constrained to unity. It is furthermore demonstrated that this constraint prevents the soliton from collapsing when scalar fields are allowed to be space dependent. In this scheme the scalar fields actually vanish at the origin reflecting a partial restoration of chiral symmetry. Also the influence of this constraint on some static properties of baryons is discussed.
