Low-lying baryon resonances from lattice QCD
Recent results studying the masses and widths of low-lying baryon resonances in lattice QCD are presented. The $S$-wave $Nπ$ scattering lengths for both total isospins $I = 1/2$ and $I = 3/2$ are inferred from the finite-volume spectrum below the inelastic threshold together with the $I = 3/2$ $P$-wave containing the $Δ(1232)$ resonance. A lattice QCD computation employing a combined basis of three-quark and meson-baryon interpolating operators with definite momentum to determine the coupled channel $Σπ$-$N\overline{K}$ scattering amplitude in the $Λ(1405)$ region is also presented. Our results support the picture of a two-pole structure suggested by theoretical approaches based on $SU(3)$ chiral symmetry and unitarity.
