We calculate the hypercharge and flavor singlet axial couplings related to the spin of the nucleon in a constituent quark model. In addition to the standard one-body axial currents, the model includes two-body axial exchange currents. The…
We discuss the axial form factors of the nucleon within the context of the nonrelativistic chiral quark model. Partial conservation of the axial current (PCAC) imposed at the quark operator level enforces an axial coupling for the…

The axial exchange current operator that arises from the coupling of the axial field to the pion and effective scalar field in nuclei is constructed. The spatial dependence of this exchange current operator may be determined directly from…
We discuss the evaluation of the nucleon isoscalar axial coupling, $g_A^{(0)}$, in the instanton vacuum, using the $1/N_c$ expansion. This approach allows a fully consistent treatment of the $U(1)_A$ anomaly. We compute the nucleon matrix…
If a baryon field belongs to a certain linear representation of chiral symmetry of $SU(2) \otimes SU(2)$, the axial coupling constant $g_{A}$ can be determined algebraically from the commutation relations derived from the superconvergence…
It is shown that the widely used parton model expression for $ g_1$ in polarized proton-lepton scattering is incorrect as it ignores gluon-quark spin entanglement. Therefore, there is no spin crisis. A brief summary of results of the…
We comment on recently discovered $1/N_C$ corrections to the ` nucleon axial current in the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio soliton. This kind of corrections arises only for a special treatment of ordering ambiguities of collective…

We explore a consistent way to extend the partially conserved axial vector current (PCAC) relationship and corresponding current algebra results in two strongly correlated directions: 1) towards a search for a set of systematic rules for…
We study the interactions of an elementary pion with a nucleon made of constituent quarks and show that the enforcement of chiral symmetry requires the use of a two-body operator, whose form does not depend on the choice of the pion-quark…

The U(1) Goldberger-Treiman (GT) relation for the axial charge $g_A^0$ is reexamined. It is stressed that the isosinglet GT relation in terms of the $\eta_0$ holds irrespective of the quark masses and the axial anomaly. We pointed out that…
We derive the expressions of the vector and axial current from a chiral Lagrangian restricted to nucleons and pions. They display mixing terms between the axial and vector currents. We study the modifications in the nuclear medium of the…
Traditional few-body descriptions of pion production use integral equations to sum the strong interactions nonperturbatively. Although much physics is thereby included, there has not been a practical way of incorporating the constraints of…
