Constituent Quark Couplings and QCD in the Large $N_c$ Limit

Abstract

It is shown that in the constituent quark model of Georgi-Manohar, the dispersion relation that leads to the Adler-Weisberger sum rule for the axial vector coupling $g_A$ requires a subtraction constant. This fact explains the discrepancy between the results of different recent estimates of the $1/N_c$ corrections to Weinberg's large $N_c$ result $g_A=1$, where $N_c$ is the number of QCD colors. We also discuss a possible scenario which shows that $g_A=1$ might not be a necessary consequence of QCD in the large $N_c$ limit.
