Abstract

We compute the axial vector current, form factor, and coupling for quarks in the instanton liquid model with two light flavors. Non-local current corrections are derived, as required by the effective 't Hooft interaction. We obtain a pion-mediated axial form factor and an axial coupling which, when simply applied in the non-relativistic limit for constituent quarks, matches the experimental value to within a few percent, both in and out of the chiral limit.
