Strangeness contents of baryons are calculated within rigid rotator model for arbitrary number of colors $N_c$. The problem of extrapolation to realistic value $N_c=3$ is noted, based on explicit calculations and comparison of rigid rotator…
We study the most general Fierz identities for a pair of non-contracted Dirac matrices both in the standard basis and for chiral spinors. These identities are useful in building independent effective operators of fermions that involve…
We systematically study the chiral structure of local tetraquark currents of flavor singlet and J(P)=0(+). We also investigate their chiral partners, including scalar and pseudoscalar tetraquark currents of flavor singlet, octet, 10, 10_bar…
We present an effective model, which is an extension of the usual linear sigma model, that contains a low energy multiplet for every hadronic particle type. These multiplets are a scalar nonet, a pseudoscalar nonet, a vector nonet, an…
We construct the complete and minimal O(q^2) and O(q^3) three-flavour Lorentz invariant chiral meson-baryon Lagrangians for the first time in the literature. We compare with previous three-flavour studies reducing the number of independent…
We present a new classification scheme of baryon ground states and resonances into SU(3) flavor multiplets. The scheme is worked out along a covariant formalism with relativistic constituent quark models and it relies on detailed…
We compute the spectra of exotic pentaquarks and monopole excitations of the low--lying ${1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons in a chiral soliton model. Once the low--lying baryon properties are fit, the other states are predicted without any…
The baryons containing two heavy quarks and a light quark are believed to have the diquark-quark structure and the diquark is composed of the two heavy quarks which is a spin-0 or spin-1 object. The superflavor symmetry can associate…
The S_3 symmetry corresponding to permuting the positions of the quarks within a baryon allows us to study the 70-plet of L=1 baryons without an explicit choice for the spatial part of the quark wave functions: given a set of operators with…
We analyze the connections between the quark model (QM) and the description of hadrons in the low-momentum limit of heavy-baryon effective field theory in QCD. By using a three-flavor-index representation for the effective baryon fields, we…
The electromagnetic properties of baryons containing a heavy quark are calculated at next-to-leading order in partially quenched heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. Calculations are performed for three light flavors in the isospin…
We study the possibility that four iso-singlet baryons $\Lambda_s(1405)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_s(1520)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$, $\Lambda_c(2593)$ $J^P=1/2^{-}$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ $J^P=3/2^{-}$ are hybrids: three quark one gluon states (udsg).…
The pion mass dependence of hyperon electromagnetic properties is determined using two-flavor heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Specifically we compute chiral corrections to the charge radii, magnetic moments, and magnetic radii of…
I review the present status of three flavor baryon chiral perturbation theory in the heavy fermion formalism. It is argued that precise calculations have to include all terms quadratic in the quark masses. As examples, I consider the chiral…
The approximate chiral invariance of the two-flavor QCD is known to be spontaneously broken. This effect explains the relatively small pion mass and, as is widely believed, the mass splittings of would-be chiral partners --- the hadrons of…
Consideration of the analytical properties of pion-induced baryon self-energies leads to new functional forms for the extrapolation of light baryon masses. These functional forms reproduce the leading non-analytic behavior of chiral…
We study three-flavor octet baryons by using the so-called extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM). Within a quark-diquark picture, the requirement of a mirror assignment naturally leads to the consideration of four spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ baryon…
A chiral chemical potential present in the early universe can source helical hypermagnetic fields through the chiral plasma instability. If these hypermagnetic fields survive until the electroweak phase transition, they source a…
The $\pi^+\Sigma^+$, $\pi^+\Xi^0$, $K^+p$, $K^+n$, and $\overline{K}{}^0 \Xi^0$ scattering lengths are calculated in mixed-action Lattice QCD with domain-wall valence quarks on the asqtad-improved coarse MILC configurations at four…
Considering simultaneously isospin and SU(3) flavor symmetry breakings, we investigate the complete mass splittings of SU(3) baryons within a chiral soliton model, a {}"model-independent approach" being employed. In linear order several new…
