BARYON CHIRAL PERTURBATION THEORY IN THE 1/Nc EXPANSION
نویسنده
چکیده
The chiral Lagrangian for baryons is formulated in an expansion in 1/Nc. The chiral Lagrangian implements the contracted spin-flavor symmetry of large-Nc baryons as well as nonet symmetry of the leading planar diagrams. Large-Nc consistency conditions ensure that chiral loop corrections are suppressed in 1/Nc through exact cancellation of chiral loop graphs to fixed orders in 1/Nc. Application of 1/Nc baryon chiral perturbation theory to the flavor-27 baryon mass splittings and the baryon axial vector currents are considered as examples.

Recoil order chiral corrections to baryon octet axial vector currents and large Nc QCD
We compute the chiral corrections to octet baryon axial vector currents through O(p3) in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, including both octet and decuplet baryon intermediate states. We include the latter in a consistent way by using the small scale expansion. We find that, in contrast to the situation at O(p2), there exist no cancellations between octet and decuplet contributions at O...
متن کاملThe 1/Nc Expansion for Baryons
A systematic expansion in 1/Nc is constructed for baryons in QCD. Predictions of the 1/Nc expansion at leading and subleading order for baryon axial current coupling constant ratios such as F/D, baryon masses and magnetic moments are derived. The baryon sector of QCD has a light quark spin-flavor symmetry at leading order in 1/Nc. The formalism of induced representations for contracted Lie alge...
متن کاملChiral Perturbation Theory Analysis of Baryon Temperature Mass Shifts
We compute the finite temperature pole mass shifts of the octet and decuplet baryons using heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory and the 1/Nc expansion, where Nc is the number of QCD colors. We consider the temperatures of the order of the pion mass mπ, and expand truncate the chiral and 1/Nc expansions assuming that mπ ∼ 1/Nc. There are three scales in the problem: the temperature T , the pi...
متن کاملBaryon masses in large N c chiral perturbation theory ∗
We analyse the baryon mass spectrum in a framework which combines the 1/Nc expansion with chiral perturbation theory. Meson loop contributions involving the full SU(3) octet of pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons are evaluated, and the influence of explicit chiral and flavor symmetry breaking by non-zero and unequal quark masses is investigated. We also discuss sigma terms and the strangeness contrib...

The large-Nc limit of the meson-baryon effective Lagrangian is shown to reduce to a semiclassical field theory. A chiral bag structure emerges naturally in the Nc → ∞ limit. A possible connection between the chiral bag picture and the Skyrme model is discussed. The classical meson-baryon theory is used to reproduce the M π non-analytic correction to the baryon mass obtained previously as a loop...
