Hadronic Coupling Constants in Lattice QCD
We calculate the hadronic coupling constants $g_{NNπ}$ and $g_{ρππ}$ in QCD, including dynamical quarks in the framework of staggered fermions in the lattice approach. For the nucleon--pion coupling we obtain $g_{NNπ} = 13.8 \pm 5.8$, to be compared with the experimental value $13.13 \pm 0.07$. The $ρππ$ coupling has been analysed for two different sets of operators with the averaged result $g_{ρππ} = 4.2 \pm 1.9$ which is to be compared with the experimental value $6.06 \pm 0.01$.
