Baryon fields with $U_{L}(3)\times U_{R}(3)$ chiral symmetry V: Pion-Nucleon and Kaon-Nucleon $Σ$ Terms

We have previously calculated the pion-nucleon $Σ_{πN}$ term in the chiral mixing approach with $u,d$ flavors only, and found the lower bound $Σ_{πN} \geq \left(1 + \frac{16}{3} \sin^2 θ\right){3 \over 2} \left(m_{u}^{0} + m_{d}^{0}\right)$. The mixing angle $θ$ can be calculated as $\sin^2θ= \frac{3}{8}\left(g_A^{(0)} + g_A^{(3)}\right)$. With presently accepted values of current quark masses, this leads to $Σ_{πN} \geq 58.0 \pm 4.5 \begin{array}{l} +11.4 \\ -6.5 \end{array}$ MeV, which is in agreement with the values extracted from experiments, and substantially higher than most previous two-flavour calculations. The causes of this enhancement are: 1) the large, ($\frac{16}{3}\simeq 5.3$), purely $SU_L(2) \times SU_R(2)$ algebraic factor, 2) the admixture of the $[(\mathbf{1},\mathbf{\frac12})\oplus (\mathbf{\frac12},\mathbf{1})]$ chiral multiplet component in the nucleon, whose presence has been known for some time, but that had not been properly taken into account, yet. We have now extended these calculations of $Σ_{πN}$ to three light flavours, i.e., to $SU_L(3) \times SU_R(3)$ multiplet mixing. Phenomenology of chiral $SU_L(3) \times SU_R(3)$ multiplet mixing demands the presence of three chiral $SU_L(3) \times SU_R(3)$ multiplets in order to successfully reproduce the baryons' flavor-octet and flavor-singlet axial currents, as well as the baryon anomalous magnetic moments. The physical significance of these results lies in the fact that they show no need for $q^4 {\bar q}$ components, and in particular, no need for an $s \bar s$ component in the nucleon, in order to explain the large "observed" $Σ_{πN}$ value. We also predict the experimentally unknown kaon-nucleon sigma term $Σ_{K N}$.

Bi-Local Baryon Interpolating Fields with Three Flavours

Fierz identities follow from permutations of quark indices and thus determine which chiral multiplets of baryon fields are Pauli-allowed, and which are not. In a previous paper we have investigated the Fierz identities of baryon fields with two light flavours and found that all bilocal fields that can be constructed from three quarks are Pauli-allowed. That does not mean that all possible chiral multiplets exist, however: some chiral multiplets do not appear among structures with a given spin in the local limit, say J = 1/2. One such chiral multiplet is the [(6,3)+(3,6)], which is necessary for a successful chiral mixing phenomenology. In the present paper we extend those methods to three light flavors, i.e. to SU_F(3) symmetry and explicitly construct all three necessary chiral SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) multiplets, viz. [(6,3)+(3,6)], [(3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3)] and [(3_bar,3)+(3,3_bar)] that are necessary for a phenomenologically successful chiral mixing. We complete this analysis by considering some bi-local baryon fields that are sufficient for the construction of the "missing" spin 1/2 baryon interpolating fields. Bi-local baryon fields have definite total angular momentum only in the local limit. The physical significance of these results lies in the fact that they show that there is no need for higher Fock space components, such as the (q^4 q_bar), in the baryon chiral mixing framework, for the purpose of fitting the observed axial couplings and magnetic moments: all of the sufficient "mirror components" exist as bi-local fields.

Baryons with U_L(3)*U_R(3) Chiral Symmetry IV: Interactions with Chiral (8,1)+(1,8) Vector and Axial-vector Mesons and Anomalous Magnetic Moments

We construct all SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) chirally invariant anomalous magnetic, i.e. involving a Pauli tensor and one-derivative, interactions of one chiral-[(8,1)+(1,8)] meson field with chiral-[(6,3)+(3,6)], [(3,\bar3)+(\bar3,3)], and [(8,1)+(1,8)] baryon fields and their "mirror" images. We find strong chiral selection rules: e.g. there is only one off-diagonal chirally symmetric anomalous magnetic interaction between J=1/2 fields belonging to the [(6,3)+(3,6)] and the [(3,\bar3)+(\bar3,3)] chiral multiplets. We also study the chiral selection rules for the anomalous magnetic interactions of the [(3,\bar3)+(\bar3,3)] and the [(8,1)+(1,8)] baryon fields. Again, no diagonal and only one off-diagonal chiral SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) interaction of this type is allowed, that turns out also to conserve the U_A(1) symmetry. We calculate the F/D ratios for the baryons' anomalous magnetic moments predicted by these interactions in the SU(3) symmetry limit and find that only the [(6,3)+(3,6)]-[(3,\bar3)+(\bar3,3)] one, reproduces F/D=1/3, in close proximity to the value extracted from experiment.

Approximate action-angle variables for the figure-eight and other periodic three-body orbits

We use the maximally permutation symmetric set of three-body coordinates, that consist of the "hyper-radius" $R = \sqrt{ρ^{2} + λ^{2}}$, the "rescaled area of the triangle" $\frac{\sqrt 3}{2 R^2} |{\bm ρ} \times {\bm λ}|$) and the (braiding) hyper-angle $ϕ= \arctan(\frac{2{\bm ρ} \cdot {\bm λ}}{λ^2 - ρ^2})$, to analyze the "figure-eight" choreographic three-body motion discovered by Moore \cite{Moore1993} in the Newtonian three-body problem. Here ${\bm ρ}, {\bm λ}$ are the two Jacobi relative coordinate vectors. We show that the periodicity of this motion is closely related to the braiding hyper-angle $ϕ$. We construct an approximate integral of motion ${\bar{G}}$ that together with the hyper-angle $ϕ$ forms the action-angle pair of variables for this problem and show that it is the underlying cause of figure-eight motion's stability. We construct figure-eight orbits in two other attractive permutation-symmetric three-body potentials. We compare the figure-eight orbits in these three potentials and discuss their generic features, as well as their differences. We apply these variables to two new periodic, but non-choreographic orbits: One has a continuously rising $ϕ$ in time $t$, just like the figure-eight motion, but with a different, more complex periodicity, whereas the other one has an oscillating $ϕ(t)$ temporal behavior.

Bi-local baryon interpolating fields with two flavours

We construct bi-local interpolating field operators for baryons consisting of three quarks with two flavors, assuming good isospin symmetry. We use the restrictions following from the Pauli principle to derive relations/identities among the baryon operators with identical quantum numbers. Such relations that follow from the combined spatial, Dirac, color, and isospin Fierz transformations may be called the (total/complete) Fierz identities. These relations reduce the number of independent baryon operators with any given spin and isospin. We also study the Abelian and non-Abelian chiral transformation properties of these fields and place them into baryon chiral multiplets. Thus we derive the independent baryon interpolating fields with given values of spin (Lorentz group representation), chiral symmetry ($U_L(2) \times U_R(2)$ group representation) and isospin appropriate for the first angular excited states of the nucleon.

Baryon Fields with U_L(3) times U_R(3) Chiral Symmetry III: Interactions with Chiral (3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3) Spinless Mesons

Three-quark nucleon interpolating fields in QCD have well-defined SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) and U_A(1) chiral transformation properties, viz. [(6,3)+(3,6)], [(3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3)], [(8,1)+(1,8)] and their "mirror" images, Ref.[9]. It has been shown (phenomenologically) in Ref.[3] that mixing of the [(6,3)+(3,6)] chiral multiplet with one ordinary ("naive") and one "mirror" field belonging to the [(3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3)], [(8,1)+(1,8)] multiplets can be used to fit the values of the isovector (g_A^3) and the flavor-singlet (isoscalar) axial coupling (g_A^0) of the nucleon and then predict the axial F and D coefficients, or vice versa, in reasonable agreement with experiment. In an attempt to derive such mixing from an effective Lagrangian, we construct all SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) chirally invariant non-derivative one-meson-baryon interactions and then calculate the mixing angles in terms of baryons' masses. It turns out that there are (strong) selection rules: for example, there is only one non-derivative chirally symmetric interaction between J=1/2 fields belonging to the [(6,3)+(3,6)] and the [(3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3)] chiral multiplets, that is also U_A(1) symmetric. We also study the chiral interactions of the [(3,3_bar)+(3_bar,3)] and [(8,1)+(1,8)] nucleon fields. Again, there are selection rules that allow only one off-diagonal non-derivative chiral SU_L(3)*SU_R(3) interaction of this type, that also explicitly breaks the U_A(1) symmetry. We use this interaction to calculate the corresponding mixing angles in terms of baryon masses and fit two lowest lying observed nucleon (resonance) masses, thus predicting the third (J=1/2, I=3/2) Delta resonance, as well as one or two flavor-singlet Lambda hyperon(s), depending on the type of mixing. The effective chiral Lagrangians derived here may be applied to high density matter calculations.

Pseudoscalar Mesons in the SU(3) Linear Sigma Model with Gaussian Functional Approximation

We study the SU(3) linear sigma model for the pseudoscalar mesons in the Gaussian Functional Approximation (GFA). We use the SU(3) linear sigma model Lagrangian with nonet scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons including symmetry breaking terms. In the GFA, we take the Gaussian Ansatz for the ground state wave function and apply the variational method to minimize the ground state energy. We derive the gap equations for the dressed meson masses, which are actually just variational parameters in the GFA method. We use the Bethe-Salpeter equation for meson-meson scattering which provides the masses of the physical nonet mesons. We construct the projection operators for the flavor SU(3) in order to work out the scattering T-matrix in an efficient way. In this paper, we discuss the properties of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons in various limits of the chiral $U_L(3)\times U_R(3)$ symmetry.

Baryon Fields with U_L(3) \times U_R(3) Chiral Symmetry: Axial Currents of Nucleons and Hyperons

We use the conventional F and D octet and decimet generator matrices to reformulate chiral properties of local (non-derivative) and one-derivative non-local fields of baryons consisting of three quarks with flavor SU(3) symmetry that were expressed in SU(3) tensor form in Ref. [12]. We show explicitly the chiral transformations of the [(6,3)\oplus(3,6)] chiral multiplet in the "SU(3) particle basis", for the first time to our knowledge, as well as those of the (3,\bar{3}) \oplus (\bar{3}, 3), (8,1) \oplus (1,8) multiplets, which have been recorded before in Refs. [4,5]. We derive the vector and axial-vector Noether currents, and show explicitly that their zeroth (charge-like) components close the SU_L(3) \times SU_R(3) chiral algebra. We use these results to study the effects of mixing of (three-quark) chiral multiplets on the axial current matrix elements of hyperons and nucleons. We show, in particular, that there is a strong correlation, indeed a definite relation between the flavor-singlet (i.e. the zeroth), the isovector (the third) and the eighth flavor component of the axial current, which is in decent agreement with the measured ones.

A Lagrangian for the Chiral (1/2,0) + (0,1/2) Quartet Nucleon Resonances

We study the nucleon and three N* resonances' properties in an effective linear realization chiral SU_L(2) x SU_R(2) and U_A(1) symmetric Lagrangian. We place the nucleon fields into the so-called "naive" (1/2,0) + (0, 1/2) and "mirror" (0, 1/2) + (1/2,0) (fundamental) representations of SU_L(2) x SU_R(2), two of each -distinguished by their U_A(1) chiral properties, as defined by an explicit construction of the nucleon interpolating fields in terms of three quark (Dirac) fields. We construct the most general one-meson-baryon chiral interaction Lagrangian assuming various parities of these four nucleon fields. We show that the observed masses of the four lowest lying nucleon states can be well reproduced with the effective Lagrangian, after spontaneous symmetry breakdown, without explicit breaking of U_A(1) symmetry. This does not mean that explicit U_A(1) symmetry breaking does not occur in baryons, but rather that it does not have a unique mass prediction signature that exists e.g. in the case of spinless mesons. We also consider briefly the axial couplings with chiral representation mixing.

Nucleon axial couplings and [(1/2,0) + (0,1/2)]-[(1,1/2) + (1/2,1)] chiral multiplet mixing

Three-quark nucleon interpolating fields in QCD have well-defined SU_L(2) x SU_R(2) and U_A(1) chiral transformation properties. Mixing of the [(1,1/2) + (1/2,1)] chiral multiplet with one of [(1/2,0) + (0,1/2)] or [(0,1/2) + (1/2,0)] representation can be used to fit the isovector axial coupling g_A(1) and thus predict the isoscalar axial coupling g_A(0) of the nucleon, in reasonable agreement with experiment. We also use a chiral meson-baryon interaction to calculate the masses and one-pion-interaction terms of J=1/2 baryons belonging to the [(0,1/2) + (1/2,0)] and [(1,1/2) + (1/2,1)] chiral multiplets and fit two of the diagonalized masses to the lowest-lying nucleon resonances thus predicting the third J=1/2 resonance at 2030 MeV, not far from the (one-star PDG) state Delta(2150).

Low-lying spectrum of the Y-string three-quark potential using hyper-spherical coordinates

We calculate the energies of three-quark states with definite permutation symmetry (i.e. of SU(6) multiplets) in the N=0,1,2 shells, confined by the Y-string three-quark potential. The exact Y-string potential consists of one, so-called three-string term, and three angle-dependent two-string terms. Due to this technical complication we treat the problem at three increasingly accurate levels of approximation: 1) the (approximate) three-string potential expanded to first order in trigonometric functions of hyper-spherical angles; 2) the (approximate) three-string potential to all orders in the power expansion in hyper-spherical harmonics, but without taking into account the transition(s) to two-string potentials; 3) the exact minimal-length string potential to all orders in power expansion in hyper-spherical harmonics, and taking into account the transition(s) to two-string potentials. We show the general trend of improvement %convergence of these approximations: The exact non-perturbative corrections to the total energy are of the order of one per cent, as compared with approximation 2), yet the exact energy differences between the $[20,1^{+}], [70,2^{+}], [56,2^{+}], [70,0^{+}]$-plets are shifted to 2:2:0.9, from the Bowler and Tynemouth separation rule 2:2:1, which is obeyed by approximation 2) at the one per cent level. The precise value of the energy separation of the first radial excitation ("Roper") $[56^{\prime},0^{+}]$-plet from the $[70,1^{-}]$-plet depends on the approximation, but does not become negative, i.e. the "Roper" remains heavier than the odd-parity $[70,1^{-}]$-plet in all of our approximations.

Chiral Properties of Baryon Fields with Flavor SU(3) Symmetry

We investigate chiral properties of local (non-derivative) fields of baryons consisting of three quarks with flavor SU(3) symmetry. We construct explicitly independent local three-quark fields belonging to definite Lorentz and flavor representations. Chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken and therefore the baryon fields can have different chiral representations. It turns out that the allowed chiral representations are strongly correlated with the Lorentz group representations due to the color and spatial structure of the local three-quark fields. We discuss some implications of the allowed chiral symmetry representations on phenomenological Lagrangians with chiral U(3)_L \otimes U(3)_R symmetry.

$πN$ and $ππN$ Couplings of the $Δ(1232)$ and its Chiral Partners

We investigate the interactions and chiral properties of the four spin-$\thalf$-baryons : $N^-(D_{13})$, $N^+(P_{13})$, $Δ^+(P_{33})$ and $Δ^-(D_{33})$ together with the nucleon. We construct the $SU(2)_R \times SU(2)_L$ invariant interactions between the spin-$\half$ and -$\thalf$ baryons with the aid of a new, specially developed spin and isospin projection technique for these baryon fields, where the chiral invariant interactions contain one- and two-pion couplings. We obtain simple relations for the coupling constants of the one- and two-pion spin $\half-\thalf$ transitions terms. The relation for the one-pion interactions reasonably agrees with the experiments, which suggests that these spin-$\thalf$ baryons are chiral partners.

Pentaquarks in the $\bar{10}_F$- and ${10_F}$-plets

We discuss the mass splittings of the pentaquark $10_F$-, and ${\bar {10}}_F$-plet due to the quark mass differences, as well as %We discuss the $10_F$-plet's median mass relative to that of the ${\bar {10}}_F$% -plet of pentaquarks for both the flavour-spin and the colour-spin hyperfine interactions, and for both parities of the pentaquark ground states. We show that the colour-spin interaction leads to degenerate $10_F$- and ${\bar {10}}_F$-plets when the parity is even, and a median mass splitting of 75 MeV for odd parity. The flavour-spin interaction leads to $10_{F}-{\bar {10}}_F$ median mass splittings of 200 MeV and 40 MeV, for even and odd parities, respectively. We display mass relations between $10_F$- and ${\bar {10}}_F$-plets and analyze the presently known baryon resonances in this light.

Dynamical symmetry breaking and the Nambu-Goldstone theorem in the Gaussian wave functional approximation

We analyze the group-theoretical ramifications of the Nambu-Goldstone [NG] theorem in the self-consistent relativistic variational Gaussian wave functional approximation to spinless field theories. In an illustrative example we show how the Nambu-Goldstone theorem would work in the O(N) symmetric $ϕ^4$ scalar field theory, if the residual symmetry of the vacuum were lesser than O(N-1), e.g. if the vacuum were O(N-2), or O(N-3),... symmetric. [This does not imply that any of the "lesser" vacua is actually the absolute energy minimum: stability analysis has not been done.] The requisite number of NG bosons would be (2N - 3), or (3N - 6), ... respectively, which may exceed N, the number of elementary fields in the Lagrangian. We show how the requisite new NG bosons would appear even in channels that do not carry the same quantum numbers as one of N "elementary particles" (scalar field quanta, or Castillejo-Dalitz-Dyson [CDD] poles) in the Lagrangian, i.e. in those "flavour" channels that have no CDD poles. The corresponding Nambu-Goldstone bosons are composites (bound states) of pairs of massive elementary (CDD) scalar fields excitations. As a nontrivial example of this method we apply it to the physically more interesting 't Hooft $σ$ model (an extended $N_{f} = 2$ bosonic linear $σ$ model with four scalar and four pseudoscalar fields), with spontaneously and explicitly broken chiral $O(4) \times O(2) \simeq SU_{\rm R} (2) \times SU_{\rm L}(2) \times U_{\rm A}(1)$ symmetry.

Linear Sigma model in the Gaussian wave functional approximation II: Analyticity of the S-matrix and the effective potential/action

We show an explicit connection between the solution to the equations of motion in the Gaussian functional approximation and the minimum of the (Gaussian) effective potential/action of the linear $Σ$ model, as well as with the N/D method in dispersion theory. The resulting equations contain analytic functions with branch cuts in the complex mass squared plane. Therefore the minimum of the effective action may lie in the complex mass squared plane. Many solutions to these equations can be found on the second, third, etc. Riemann sheets of the equation, though their physical interpretation is not clear. Our results and the established properties of the S-matrix in general, and of the N/D solutions in particular, guide us to the correct choice of the Riemann sheet. We count the number of states and find only one in each spin-parity and isospin channel with quantum numbers corresponding to the fields in the Lagrangian, i.e. to Castillejo-Dalitz-Dyson (CDD) poles. We examine the numerical solutions in both the strong and weak coupling regimes and calculate the Kallen-Lehmann spectral densities and then use them for physical interpretation.

Linear $Σ$ Model in the Gaussian Functional Approximation

We apply a self-consistent relativistic mean-field variational ``Gaussian functional'' (or Hartree) approximation to the linear $σ$ model with spontaneously and explicitly broken chiral O(4) symmetry. We set up the self-consistency, or ``gap'' and the Bethe-Salpeter equations. We check and confirm the chiral Ward-Takahashi identities, among them the Nambu-Goldstone theorem and the (partial) axial current conservation [CAC], both in and away from the chiral limit. With explicit chiral symmetry breaking we confirm the Dashen relation for the pion mass and partial CAC. We solve numerically the gap and Bethe-Salpeter equations, discuss the solutions' properties and the particle content of the theory.

Discriminating between effective theories of U_{A}(1) symmetry breaking

Two hadronic observables are offered as discriminants: (1) The scalar ($0^{+}$) meson spectrum; (2) Weinberg's second spectral sum rule. Their present experimental status is discussed.
