✦ Synopsis
We study nucleon structure functions within the bosonized version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in which the nucleon emerges as the soliton in the chiral field. Upon boosting to the infinite momentum frame and performing the q2-evolution in the context of the Gottfried sum rule for electron nucleon scattering we determine the intrinsic scale p2 of the NJL chiral soliton. We also compute the leading twist contributions of the polarized structure functions g1 and 92. We compare these model predictions with experiment by evolving them from p2 to the scale where the data are taken. Analogously we analyze the chiral-odd structure functions hT and ht. Finally we generalize the treatment to flavor SU(3).

We calculate the nuclear energy density functional relevant for N = Z even-even nuclei in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The calculation includes the one-pion exchange Fock diagram and the iterated one-pion exchange Hartree and Fock diagrams. From these few leading order contributions
