Abstract

We study the coupled diffusion of baryon number, electric charge, and strangeness in hot and dense quark matter using a three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with self-consistently generated constituent quark masses. The complete diffusion matrix is evaluated within a relaxation-time kinetic approach, including its diagonal and off-diagonal components. We find that the off-diagonal transport coefficients exhibit distinct temperature and baryon-chemical-potential dependence associated with the flavor-dependent composition of the charge carriers. We further investigate generalized charge diffusivities and mobilities obtained from the corresponding susceptibilities. At finite baryon chemical potential, the baryon and strangeness mobility scales cross, reflecting the different density dependence of their transport coefficients and susceptibilities. The results provide model benchmarks for coupled conserved-charge transport in baryon-rich QCD matter.
