Field Redefinitions and Wave Function Renormalization to $O(p^4)$ in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Mass- and wave-function renormalization is calculated to order p4p^4 in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Two different schemes used in the literature are considered. Several technical issues like field redefinitions, non-transformation of sources as well as subtleties related to the definition of the baryon propagator are discussed. The nucleon axial-vector coupling constant gAg_A is calculated to order p4p^4 as an illustrative example.
