We use the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to analyse the spectrum of positive parity resonances with strangeness $S = 0, -1, -2$ and -3 in the 2--3 GeV mass region, supposed to belong to the $[\textbf{56},4^+]$ multiplet. The mass operator is…

The $1/N_c$ power countings for baryon decays and configuration mixings are determined by means of a non-relativistic quark picture. Such countings are expected to be robust under changes in the quark masses, and therefore valid as these…

The original results for the baryon-pion couplings in the large $N_c$ QCD can be understood in a simpler way in the Hartree-Fock picture. The large $N_c$ relation and its $1/N_c$ correction between the heavy baryon-meson coupling and the…

The calculation of the spectrum of QCD is key to an understanding of the strong interactions, and vital if we are to capitalize on the experimental study of the spectrum. In this paper, we describe progress towards understanding the…

Baryon masses at varying values of Nc and light quark masses are studied with Lattice QCD and the results are analyzed in a low energy effective theory based on a combined framework of the 1/Nc and Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory…

Two ideas have greatly contributed to our understanding of baryon structure in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The first, chiral symmetry, received its fundamental justification from QCD and has been developed into the…

The masses of experimentally known highly excited baryons of negative parity supposed to belong to the $[{\bf 70},\ell^-]$ multiplets ($\ell$ = 1,2,3) of the $N = 3$ band are calculated in the $1/N_c$ expansion method to order $1/N_c$ by…

The masses of baryons containing a single heavy quark are studied in a combined expansion in $1/m_Q$, $1/N_c$ and $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry breaking. Heavy quark baryon mass splittings are related to mass splittings of the octet and decuplet…

We compute nonanalytical pion-loop corrections to baryon masses in a combined expansion in chiral symmetry breaking and 1/N_c, where N_c is the number of colors. Specifically, we compute flavor-27 baryon mass splittings at leading order in…

The masses of heavy quark baryons are studied in an expansion in 1/N_c, SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking, and heavy-quark symmetry breaking. Very accurate model-independent mass relations are obtained for charm and bottom baryons.

The large Nc limit provides a good phenomenology of meson spectra and interactions. I discuss some problems with applying the large Nc approximation to the description of baryons, and point out a number of apparent paradoxes and…

The masses of highly excited negative parity baryons belonging to the $N$ = 3 band are calculated in the $1/N_c$ expansion method of QCD. We use a procedure which allows to write the mass formula by using a small number of linearly…

The spectrum of excited baryons in the $N$ = 2 band is reanalys9 pagesed in the $1/N_c$ expansion method, with emphasis on hyperons. Predictions are made for the classification of these excited baryons into SU(3) singlets, octets and…

These lectures are designed to introduce the methods and results of large N_c QCD in a presentation intended for nuclear and particle physicists alike. Beginning with definitions and motivations of the approach, we demonstrate that all…

We study the masses of radial and orbital excited states of nonstrange singly charmed baryons in the framework of hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). To obtain the mass spectra, the Coulomb plus screened potential is employed with…

In the large $N_c$ limit of QCD, baryons can be modeled as solitons, for instance, as Skyrmions. This modeling has been justified by Witten's demonstration that all properties of baryons and mesons scale with $N_c^{-1/2}$ in the same way as…

The s-wave decay amplitude in the nonleptonic decay of baryons is analyzed within heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large-N_c limit at one-loop order, where N_c is the number of color charges. Loop graphs with octet and…

We propose a new method to study mixed symmetric multiplets of baryons in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion approach. The simplicity of the method allows to better understand the role of various operators acting on spin and flavour…

Strangeness contents of baryons are calculated within rigid rotator model for arbitrary number of colors $N_c$. The problem of extrapolation to realistic value $N_c=3$ is noted, based on explicit calculations and comparison of rigid rotator…

The 1/Nc expansion is formulated for the baryon wave function in terms of a specially constructed generating functional. The leading order of this 1/Nc expansion is universal for all low-lying baryons [including the O(1/Nc) and O(Nc^0)…
