Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory combined with the $1/{\mathbf{N}}_{\mathbf{c}}$ Expansion in SU(3) I: Framework

Abstract

Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory combined with the $1/N_c$ expansion is implemented for three flavors. Baryon masses, vector charges and axial vector couplings are studied to one-loop and organized according to the $\xi$-expansion, in which the $1/N_c$ and the low energy power countings are linked according to $1/N_c=\mathcal{O}(\xi )=\mathcal{O}(p)$. The renormalization to $\mathcal{O}({\xi }^3)$ necessary for the mentioned observables is provided, along with applications to the baryon masses and axial couplings as obtained in lattice QCD calculations.
