We study the $N_c$ scalings of pion-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon scatterings and find that a consistent large $N_c$ counting can be established if we assume Witten's counting rules are applied to matrix elements or scattering amplitudes…

A domain-wall configuration of the $\eta'$ meson bounded by a string (called a pancake or a Hall droplet) is recently proposed to describe the baryons with spin $N_c/2$. In order to understand its baryon number as well as the flavor quantum…

I describe a special class of meson-like \Lambda_Q excited states and present evidence supporting the similarity of their spin-independent spectra to those of mesons. I then examine spin-dependent forces in these baryons, showing that…

We explore further the idea that the lattice QCD data for hadron properties in the region m_\pi^2 > 0.2 GeV^2 can be described by the constituent quark model. This leads to a natural explanation of the fact that nucleon excited states are…

The structure of spin and isospin is analyzed. Although both spin and isospin are related to the same SU(2) group, they represent different dynamical effects. The Wigner-Racah algebra is used for providing a description of bound states of…

The hyperfine mass splittings of baryons containing a heavy quark are derived at leading order in large $N$ QCD. Hyperfine splittings either preserve or violate heavy quark spin symmetry. Previous work proves that the splittings which…

I give an overview on experimental studies of the spectrum and the structure of the excited states of the nucleon and what we can learn about their internal structure. One focus is on the efforts to obtain a more complete picture of the…

We review the current status and present open challenges of large $N_c$ QCD baryon spectroscopy. After introducing the $1/N_c$ expansion method we first shortly revisit the latest achievements for the ground state properties. Next we…

We use the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to analyze 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…

A valence QCD theory is developed to study the valence quark properties of hadrons. To keep only the valence degrees of freedom, the pair creation through the Z graphs is deleted in the connected insertions; whereas, the sea quarks are…

We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large-$N_c$ limits: 't~Hooft, QCD$_{{\rm AS}}$ and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistic-type kinetic energy, stringlike…

Results are presented for hadron spectroscopy with gauge groups SU(N) with N=3, 5, 7. Calculations use the quenched approximation. Lattice spacings are matched using the static potential. Meson spectra show independence on N and…

We have computed the baryon spectrum in the context of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-conformal Yang-Mills theory using AdS/CFT duality. Baryons are included in the theory by adding an open string sector, corresponding to quarks in the fundamental…

Lattice QCD with heavy quarks reduces to a three-dimensional effective theory of Polyakov loops, which is amenable to series expansion methods. We analyse the effective theory in the cold and dense regime for a general number of colours,…

We study the semileptonic $b\to c$ decays of the lowest-lying triply-heavy baryons made from $b$ and $c$ quarks in the limit $m_b, m_c \gg \Lambda_\mathrm{QCD}$ and close to the zero recoil point. The separate heavy quark spin symmetries…

We show that the recent construction of $N_f=1$ baryons on the $\eta^\prime$ domain wall can be understood as vortexes of the principal effective theory -- the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory -- on a 2+1-dimensional sheet. This theory has a…

A global study of the negative parity non-strange baryon observables is performed in the frame- work of the 1/Nc expansion. Masses, partial decay widths and photo-couplings are simultaneously analyzed. A main objective is to determine the…

Tree amplitudes for baryon-pion scattering are studied in the 1/N_c expansion. Generalized large-N_c consistency conditions are obtained to all orders in baryon mass splittings. For baryons with spin J ~ O(1), the leading order in N_c tree…

We use the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD to analyze 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. We find that the…

Using recently-developed diagrammatic techniques, I derive some general results concerning baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. I show that the spin-flavor relations which hold for baryons in the large-$N$…
