Relations between nucleon, $\Delta$ and nucleon-$\Delta$ electromagnetic properties associated with chiral physics which have been derived in a pure large-$N_c$ limit are greatly modified in a combined large $N_c$ and chiral limits; the…
We construct the complete SU(2) parity-violating (PV) $\pi, N, \Delta$ interaction Lagrangian with one derivative, and calculate the chiral corrections to the PV Yukawa $NN\pi$ coupling constant $h_\pi$ through ${\cal O}(1/\Lambda_\chi^3)$…
Several experimental investigations have observed parity violation in nuclear systems-a consequence of the weak force between quarks. We apply the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to the P-violating T-conserving component of the nucleon-nucleon…
We present a phenomenological analysis of the strong couplings of the negative-parity L=1 baryons from the perspective of the large-$N_c$ expansion. In the large-$N_c$ limit the mass spectrum and mixing pattern of these states are…
We present a new analysis of the ratio \epsilon'/\epsilon which measures the direct CP violation in K\to\pi\pi decays. We use the 1/N_c expansion within the framework of the effective chiral lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons. The 1/N_c…
The decay Delta^+ --> p gamma is studied in the 1/N_c expansion of QCD. The ratio of the helicity amplitudes is determined to be A_{3/2}/A_{1/2} = \sqrt{3} + O(1/N_c^2). Equivalently, the ratio E2/M1 of the multipole amplitudes is predicted…
We obtain relations between partial-wave amplitudes for pi-N-->pi-N and pi-N-->pi-Delta directly from large N_c QCD. While linear relations among certain amplitudes holding at leading order (LO) in 1/N_c were derived in the context of…
The K to pi pi system is analyzed in the chiral limit and at NLO in 1/N_c. The Delta I = 1/2 rule is reproduced and we obtain a large value for epsilon' / epsilon.
Light-quark hadronic physics admits two useful systematic expansions, the chiral and 1/N_c expansions. Their respective limits do not commute, making such cases where both expansions may be considered to be especially interesting. We first…
We analyze long-distance contributions to the K --> pi pi amplitudes relevant for the Delta I = 1/2 selection rule in the framework of the 1/N_c expansion. We use a modified prescription for the identification of meson momenta in the chiral…
In this contribution, baryon axial-vector couplings are studied in the framework of the combined 1/Nc and chiral expansions. This framework is implemented on the basis of the emergent spin-flavor symmetry in baryons at large Nc and HBChPT,…
We present a new calculation of long-distance contributions to the K --> pi pi amplitudes using the 1/N_c expansion within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Along these lines we compute the chiral loop corrections to the…
We argue that a so far neglected dimensionless scale, the number of neighbors in a closely packed system, is relevant for the convergence of the large $N_c$ expansion at high chemical potential. It is only when the number of colors is large…
Masses and especially coupling constants of the vector meson nonet are determined in the large-N_c limit, but beyond the chiral limit taking into account terms up to quadratic order in the Goldstone boson masses. With two input parameters…
We consider a possibility that $R$-parity violating interactions of particles which do not involve the first generation have large (up to 1) coupling constants, $\Lambda$. Such couplings, if exist, could have a number of phenomenological…
We examine the large-$N_c$ relations which express the electromagnetic $N$-to-$\Delta$ transition quantities in terms of the electromagnetic properties of the nucleon. These relations are based on the known large-$N_c$ relation between the…
We compute the leading non-analytic correction to the baryon mass in the combined limits m_\pi -> 0, N_c -> \infty with the product m_\pi x N_c held fixed. We reproduce the results of Cohen and Broniowski using semiclassical methods rather…
It is shown that in the large $N_c$ limit the light baryon spectrum exhibits the chiral restoration phase transition at high enough excitation energy. Such a phase transition is evidenced by the systematical parity doublets observed in the…
We extend the 1/N_c expansion meson-baryon scattering formalism to cases in which the final state contains more than two particles. We first show that the leading-order large N_c processes proceed through resonant intermediate states (e.g.,…
We study the dependence on the number of colors of the leading pi pi scattering amplitude in chiral dynamics. We demonstrate the existence of a critical number of colors for and above which the low energy pi pi scattering amplitude computed…
