We improve the bound state approach of the Skyrme model applied to the heavy baryons by adopting a static heavy meson picture where the soliton moves around the fixed heavy meson. This allows to take into account the center of mass…
Lepton polarization asymmetries for the flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) dileptonic decays of {\Lambda}b baryons are calculated using single-component analytic (SCA) and multicomponent numerical (MCN) form factors. We show that these…
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…

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…
The possible neutron-antineutron oscillation is described by an effective quadratic Lagrangian analogous to the BCS theory. It is shown that the conventional equal-time anti-commutation relations of the neutron variable $n(t,\vec{x})$ are…
Two dynamical systems with same symmetry should have features in common, and as far as their shared symmetry is concerned, one may represent the other. The three light quark constituents of the hadrons, a) have an approximate flavor SU(3)…
In this paper, we study the baryons and solitons of chiral and vector-like $SU(N)$ gauge theories with matter in mixed one and two-index representations. Focusing on the Color-flavor locked (CFL) phase, we compute the topology of the coset…
The magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of the ground state baryons are analyzed in an expansion in 1/N_c, SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking and isospin symmetry breaking. There is clear evidence in the experimental data for the…
The electromagnetic transitions between ($J^{P}={3/2}^{+}$) and ($J^{P}={1/2}^{+}$) baryons are important decay modes to observe new hadronic states experimentally. For the estimation of these transitions widths, we employ a…
We suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave--functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) explicit symmetry breaking components. We utilize the collective coordinate approach to chiral…
We study how to numerically simulate quantum fermions out of thermal equilibrium, in the context of electroweak baryogenesis. We find that by combining the lattice implementation of Aarts and Smit [1] with the "low cost" fermions of…
