Constituent Quark Couplings and QCD in the Large $N_c$ Limit

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

It is shown that in the constituent quark model of Georgi-Manohar, the dispersion relation that leads to the Adler-Weisberger sum rule for the axial vector coupling gAg_A requires a subtraction constant. This fact explains the discrepancy between the results of different recent estimates of the 1/Nc1/N_c corrections to Weinberg's large NcN_c result gA=1g_A=1, where NcN_c is the number of QCD colors. We also discuss a possible scenario which shows that gA=1g_A=1 might not be a necessary consequence of QCD in the large NcN_c limit.
