This work implements the combined BChPT and 1/Nc expansions for pion-nucleon elastic scattering. The effective theory is based on the baryon sector dynamical spin-flavor SU(4) symmetry emergent in the large Nc limit, whose breaking is…
In this work, we study the mass spectrum of the $\Omega_{ccc}$ and $\Omega_{bbb}$ baryons up to the $N=2$ shell within a nonrelativistic constituent quark model (NRCQM). The model parameters are adopted from the determinations by fitting…
The masses of baryons and heavy quark baryons are studied analytically in an expansion in 1/N, SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking and heavy-quark symmetry breaking. The measured baryon masses are in striking agreement with the 1/N hierarchy.
We extend the recently developed treatment of baryon resonances in large N_c QCD to describe resonance multiplets collected according to the SU(3) flavor symmetry that includes strange quarks. As an illustration we enumerate the SU(3)…

The $I=0,1,2,3$ mass splittings of the spin-$1/2$ octet and spin-$3/2$ decuplet baryons are analyzed in the $1/\N$ expansion combined with perturbative flavor breaking. We show there is considerable experimental evidence that the baryon…

Tree amplitudes for baryon-pion scattering are studied in the 1/N_c expansion. Generalized large-N_c consistency conditions are obtained to all orders in baryon mass splittings. For baryons with spin J ~ O(1), the leading order in N_c tree…
The combined large N_c and heavy quark limit for baryons containing a single heavy quark is discussed. The combined large N_c and heavy quark expansion of the heavy quark bilinear operators is obtained. In the combined expansion the…
We identify ``spurious'' states in meson-baryon scattering, those that appear in QCD for N_c > 3 but decouple for N_c = 3. The key observation is that the relevant flavor SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients contain factors of 1 - 3/N_c. We…

Corrections to the masses of baryons from baryon-meson loops can induce splittings between baryons which are comparable to those arising from the residual interactions between the quarks. These corrections are calculated using a…
