We construct a general parametrization of the baryon octet and decuplet mass operators including the three-body terms using the unit operator and the symmetry-breaking factors $M^d=\textrm{diag} (0,1,0)$ and $M^s=\textrm{diag} (0,0,1)$ in…

We show that the average multiplet masses in the baryon octet and decuplet can be fitted with an average error of only $0.5\pm 0.3$ MeV in a meson loop expansion with chiral SU(6) couplings, with the hadrons treated as composite particles…
The interactions of $\rho$, $K^*$, $\phi$ and $\omega$ vector-mesons with low-momentum $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ pseudoscalar mesons are constrained by chiral symmetry. We derive a heavy vector-meson chiral Lagrangian in which the vector mesons…
The lowest order chiral Lagrangian is used to study s-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons. The coupled channel Bethe Salpeter equation is used to obtain dynamically generated $\tfrac{3}{2}^-$…

We study the decoupling effects in N=1 (global) supersymmetric theories with chiral superfields at the one-loop level. The examples of gauge neutral chiral superfields with the minimal (renormalizable) as well as non-minimal (non-…
Within an extended chiral constituent quark formalism, we investigate contributions from all possible five-quark components in the octet baryons to the pion-baryon ($\sigma_{\pi B}$) and strangeness-baryon ($\sigma_{s B}$) sigma terms; $B…
We report an analysis of the impressive new lattice simulation results for octet baryon masses in 2+1-flavor QCD. The analysis is based on a low order expansion about the chiral SU(3) limit in which the symmetry breaking arises from terms…
First non-trivial chiral corrections to the magnetic moments of triplet (T) and sextet ($S^{(*)}$) heavy baryons are presented using Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory. The contributions are calculated up to order ${\cal O}(1/(m_Q…
In this article, we calculate the strong coupling constant $g$ among the decuplet baryons, the octet baryons and the pseudoscalar mesons in the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with the light-cone QCD sum rules, and study the strong…
We perform an evaluation of the p-wave amplitudes of meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness S=-1 sector starting from the lowest order chiral Lagrangians and introducing explicitly the Sigma^* field with couplings to the meson-baryon…
The hadronic sector of the standard model at low energies is described by a non--decoupling effective field theory, chiral perturbation theory. An introduction is given to the construction of effective chiral Lagrangians, both in the purely…
We derive the chiral effective Lagrangian for excited heavy-light mesons from QCD under proper approximations. We focus on the chiral partners with $j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ and $j_l^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ which amounts to ($1^+,2^+$) and ($1^-,2^-$)…
Magnetic moments of baryons are studied within the chiral quark soliton model with special emphasis on the decuplet of baryons. The model is used to identify all symmetry breaking terms proportional to $m_{\rm s}$. Sum rules for the…
We present a diagrammatic analysis of baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. We use this method to show that there are an infinite number of degenerate baryon states in the large-$N$ limit. We also show that…
We explicitly relate effective meson-baryon Lagrangian models, chiral bags, and Skyrmions in the following way. First, effective Lagrangians are constructed in a manner consistent with an underlying large-N_c QCD. An infinite set of graphs…
The number of conjugate classes of derangements of order $n$ is the same as the number $h(n)$ of the restricted partitions with every portion greater than $1$. It is also equal to the number of isotopy classes of $2\times n$ Latin…
