Chiral Multiplets of Large-N Ground State Baryons
Abstract
I show that in the large-N limit the ground state baryons with helicity h fall into an ((N-2h)/4,(N+2h)/4) irreducible representation of SU(2)XSU(2). This representation determines the absolute normalization of the ground state baryon axial vector couplings at large-N. Results map precisely to (spin-flavor) SU(4) results. For instance, I find gA =(N+2)/3. As a consequence of this multiplet structure, chiral symmetry forbids pion transitions between the ground state baryons and other baryon towers in the large-N limit.
