Abstract
Path integral techniques in collective fields are shown to be a useful analytical tool to reformulate a field theory defined in terms of microscopic quark (gluon) degrees of freedom as an effective theory of collective boson (meson) fields. For illustrations, the path integral bosonization approach is applied to derive a (non)linear σ model from a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) quark model. The method can be extended to include higher order derivative terms in meson fields or heavy-quark symmetries. It is also approximately applicable to QCD.
