We determine baryon-baryon bound states in 3+1 dimensional ${\rm SU}(3)$ lattice QCD with two flavors, $4\times 4$ spin matrices, and in an imaginary time formulation. For small hopping parameter, $\kappa>0$, and large glueball mass (strong…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend the treatment of the constituent quark model showing that mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons. We obtain several new…
When coupling fermions to gravity, torsion is naturally induced. We consider the possibility that fermion bilinears can act as a source for torsion, altering the dynamics of the early universe such that the big bang gets replaced with a…
We present an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of the quark-antiquark pairs (up, down and strange) are taken into account in an explicit form via a microscopic, QCD-inspired, quark-antiquark creation mechanism. In the…
Masses of singly and doubly charmed baryons are calculated in quenched lattice QCD using an improved action of the D234 type on an anisotropic lattice. The mass differences between spin 3/2 and spin 1/2 baryon states are calculated and…
We discuss in general the construction of gauge-invariant non-local meson operators on the lattice. We use such operators to study the $P$- and $D$-wave mesons as well as hybrid mesons in quenched QCD, with quark masses near the strange…
We study the dependence on the quark mass of the compositeness of the lowest-lying odd parity hyperon states. Thus, we pay attention to $\Lambda-$like states in the strange, charm and beauty, sectors which are dynamically generated using a…
This contribution is a brief review of the status of hybrid baryons, which are hypothetical baryons that incorporate a gluonic excitation. We first summarize the status of hybrid mesons, since this closely related topic has seen…
Baryons with one or more heavy quarks have been shown, in the context of a nonrelativistic description, to exhibit mass inequalities under permutations of their quarks, when spin averages are taken. These inequalities sometimes are…
We evaluate the spin-orbit and spin-spin interaction between two fermions in strongly coupled gauge theories in their Coulomb phase. We use the quasi-instantaneous character of Coulomb's law at strong coupling to resum a class of ladder…
Light-baryon resonances (with u,d, and s quarks in the SU(3) classification) fall on Regge trajectories. When their squared masses are plotted against the intrinsic orbital angular momenta {\rm L}, $\Delta^*$'s with even and odd parity can…
We show that even when spins and orbitals disentangle in the ground state, spin excitations are renormalized by the local tuning of $e_g$ orbitals in ferromagnetic planes of K$_2$CuF$_4$ and LaMnO$_3$. As a result, dressed spin excitations…
The discussion of the 70-plet of negative parity baryons illustrates the large Nc QCD approach to orbitally excited baryons. In the case of the l=1 baryons the existing data allows to make numerous predictions to first order in the SU(3)…
Following a previous paper [Haozhao Liang \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. C \textbf{87}, 014334 (2013)], we discuss the spin-orbit effects on the pseudospin symmetry (PSS) within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. By using the…
All available data indicate a surplus of baryon states over meson states for energies greater than about 1.5 GeV. Since hadron-scale string theory suggests that their numbers should become equal with increasing energy, it has recently been…
The low-energy $M1$ states in deformed $^{164}$Dy and spherical $^{58}$Ni are explored in the framework of fully self-consistent Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation (QRPA) with various Skyrme forces. The main attention is paid to…
We study electromagnetic mass splittings of charmed baryons. We point out discrepancies among theoretical predictions in non-relativistic potential models. None of them seems supported by experimental data. A new calculation is presented.
We argue directly from Witten's analysis of large $N_c$ baryons that the structure of the $s$-wave low-spin baryon states in QCD becomes spin-independent as $N_c\rightarrow\infty$. This property leads to $SU(6)$-like behavior of static…
We present a general theory of multiorbital spin waves in magnetically ordered metallic systems. Motivated by the itinerant magnetism of iron-based superconductors, we compare the magnetic excitations for two different scenarios: when the…
The rest masses of the stable mesons and baryons and the rest masses of their antiparticles, as well as the rest masses of the mu (+,-) and tau (+,-) leptons can be explained, within 1% accuracy, with the standing wave model, which uses…
