The Adler-Weisberger sum rule for the nucleon axial-vector charge, $g_A$, offers a unique signature of chiral symmetry and its breaking in QCD. Its derivation relies on both algebraic aspects of chiral symmetry, which guarantee the…
The leading-order chiral Lagrangian for the baryon octet and decuplet states coupled to Goldstone bosons and external sources contains six low-energy constants. Five of them are fairly well known from phenomenology, but the sixth one is…
From the analysis of the recent CCFR data for the \st\ $xF_3(x,Q^2)$ ($0.015<x<0.65$ and $1.2\ GeV^2 < |Q^2| < 501\ GeV^2$) of the deep inelastic neutrino - nucleon scattering we conclude that probably part of the nucleon baryon number is…
We use the method of QCD sum rules in the presence of an external pion field to investigate isospin symmetry breakings in pion-nucleon couplings. Possible manifestations of such isospin symmetry breaking are examined in the context of…

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) claims that the major source of the nucleon invariant mass is not the Higgs mechanism but the trace anomaly in QCD energy momentum tensor. Although experimental and theoretical results support such conclusion, a…
