K. Fukushima et al., Slope of the topological susceptibility at zero temperature and finite temperature in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, PHYS LETT B, 514(1-2), 2001, pp. 200-203
We estimate the slope of the topological susceptibility in the three flavou
r Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the 't Hooft interaction. The results are c
onsistent with the evaluation from the QCD sum rule in favour of the full t
opological susceptibility. We apply it to the Shore-Veneziano formula to fi
nd that it shows satisfactory agreement with the anomalous suppression of t
he flavour-singlet axial charge. The behaviour at finite temperature is als
o discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
