SU(3) symmetry relations between the octet baryons are introduced in order to connect both the unpolarized and polarized quark distributions of the octet baryons with those of the nucleon. Two different parametrizations of the nucleon quark…
The masses of the low lying baryons are evaluated using two degenerate flavors of twisted mass sea quarks corresponding to pseudo scalar masses in the range of about 270-500 MeV. The strange valence quark mass is tuned to reproduce the mass…
The SU(3) octet states with baryon number B = 2, hexaquark dibaryons, are considered. Decay coupling constants sum rules for dibaryon octet into two ordinary baryon octets with ?$\lambda_8$ first order SU(3) symmetry breaking are given. An…
Using the HAL QCD method, we investigate S-wave meson-baryon interactions in singlet and two octet channels in the flavor SU(3) limit, where the chiral unitary model predicts that a combination of bound-state poles in these channels…
The properties of baryons can be computed in a systematic expansion in $1/N_c$, where $N_c$ is the number of colors. Recent results on the axial couplings and masses of baryons (for the case of three flavors) are presented. The results give…
The $S$- and $P$- wave phase shifts of low-energy pion-nucleon scatterings are analysed using Peking University representation, in which they are decomposed into various terms contributing either from poles or branch cuts. We estimate the…
By comparing SU(3)-breaking scales of linear mass formulae, it is shown that the lowest vector and scalar mesons all have a $\bar{q}q$ configuration, while the ground-state octet and decuplet baryons are $qqq$. Also, the quark-level linear…
An $SU(3)$ flavor projection operator technique is implemented to construct the baryon-meson scattering amplitude in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD, where $N_c$ is the number of color charges. The operator technique is…
Using recently-developed diagrammatic techniques, I derive some general results concerning baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. I show that the spin-flavor relations which hold for baryons in the large-$N$…
The hypothesis that there exists a nonet of scalars mainly composed of a valence quark-antiquark pair and mixed according to near singlet-octet separation : f_0 (980) singlet, a_0^{+,0,-} (980), K^{* +,0}_0 (1430), \bar K^{* -,0}_0 (1430),…

We extend the 1/N_c meson-baryon scattering formalism to pi N to multi-pi N case. We first show that the leading-order large N_c processes proceed through resonant intermediate states (e.g., rho N or pi Delta). We find that the pole…
