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

Ishara P. Fernando, Jose L. Goity

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-…
