TL;DR: In this paper, the same pseudoscalar pions are incorporated into Ramond's model of free dual fermions, by considering the emission of $N ε-ensuremath{-1$ pions and factorizing in the quark-antiquark channel.
Abstract: Interacting pseudoscalar pions are incorporated into Ramond's model of free dual fermions. By considering the emission of $N\ensuremath{-}1$ pions and factorizing in the quark-antiquark channel, we recover the same $N$-pion amplitudes as were proposed in a previous paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the exact J = 0 vector-scalar sector solutions to the equal mass spinor-spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation for the massless-meson exchange ladder model at the vanishing total 4-momentum were discussed.
Abstract: A new method is proposed to discuss the exact J = 0 vector‐scalar sector solutions to the equal‐mass spinor‐spinor Bethe‐Salpeter equation for the massless‐meson exchange ladder model at the vanishing total 4‐momentum. Under the assumption that all solutions belonging to a discrete spectrum have a discrete spectral representation in the relative 4‐momentum squared, it is proved that no discrete solutions other than the solution (in the vector‐coupling case) found by Bastai, Bertocchi, Furlan, and Tonin exist in any case of the scalar, pseudoscalar, and vector couplings. As for the case of the axialvector coupling, it is shown that possible eigenvalues have to belong to one of three exponentially increasing sequences; but the existence of any solution other than Keam's one is quite unlikely. It is mathematically interesting that in the above analysis one encounters some Diophantine equations of the second degree.

TL;DR: In this article, the nonconserved part of the vector currents, assumed to have second-class transformation properties, is taken to be proportional to interpolating scalar fields, and new sum rules for second class form factors are obtained, which are then used to calculate the η → π and Σ → Λ semi-leptonic appropriate transitions.
Abstract: The nonconserved part of the vector currents, assumed to have second-class transformation properties, is taken to be proportional to interpolating scalar fields. By this procedure, new sum rules for second-class form factors are obtained, which are then used to calculate the η → π and Σ → Λ semi-leptonic appropriate transitions. The couplings of scalar mesons to baryons are shown to be two orders of magnitude smaller than those of pseudoscalar mesons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the low-momentum transfer behavior of the pseudoscalar mesons is derived, starting with the model-independent equal-time commutation relations between the stress tensor and the axial-vector current.
Abstract: The low-momentum-transfer behavior of the gravitational form factors of the pseudoscalar mesons is derived, starting with the model-independent equal-time commutation relations between the stress tensor and the axial-vector current The results indicate significant deviations from tensor-meson pole dominance and scalar-meson pole dominance of the matrix elements of the traceless part and the trace, respectively, of the stress tensor An expression is derived for the stress-tensor-$\ensuremath{\epsilon}$-meson coupling in terms of ${g}_{{A}_{1}\ensuremath{\epsilon}\ensuremath{\pi}}$ With additional assumptions, a phenomenological result is obtained for the scale dimension of the pion field Possible mechanisms are discussed which may give rise to large values of the rms radii of the form factors As an example of additional phenomenological results obtainable from the scheme discussed here, a result is derived for the $f{A}_{1}\ensuremath{\pi}$ coupling

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the meson and octet baryon mass shifts are correlated using the formalism developed in the preceding paper, and it is found that the electromagnetic breaking term in the Lagrangian may be of the same order of magnitude as the chiral symmetry-breaking term.
Abstract: Using the formalism developed in the preceding paper, we investigate electromagnetic perturbations in a rather general chiral $\mathrm{SU}(3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{SU}(3)$ model of mesons. The meson and octet baryon mass shifts can be successfully correlated, and it is found that the electromagnetic breaking term in the Lagrangian may be of the same order of magnitude as the chiral-symmetry-breaking term. We also discuss the speculation that all strong symmetry breaking may be of electromagnetic and weak origin.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a new pseudoscalar meson theory was proposed, where all quantities are finite and only two independent parameters appear: the bare coupling constantG0 and the bare nucleon massm0.
Abstract: Recent methods using an indefinite metric are applied to the study of the mass-eigenvalue problem of a conventional pseudoscalar meson theory. In this new theory all quantities are finite and only two independent parameters appear: the bare coupling constantG0 and the bare nucleon massm0.G0 determines the ratio between the pion and nucleon masses;m0 is a scale factor fixing the unity of masses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the decay widths of scalar mesons into two o- mesons and n-n scattering are investigated. But the treatment of'symmetry breaking is largely model-dependent in the effective Lagrangian.
Abstract: 3 > the existence of which is naturally expected in the SU(6) frame­ work. Then it seems important to study processes involving o+ mesons as well ·as other hadrons and to discuss effects of scalar mesons on various processes. Matrix elements of soft-pion processes and the masses of pseudoscalar (O-) mesons can be treated by means of a techniqu~ with current algebra and PCAC relation. With this method, however, we cannot deal with the masses of o+ mesons nor discuss hard pion processes without ad hoc smoothness assumption. 4 > Therefore it would be significant and worth while to examine low-energy phenomena from soft-pion to hard-pion processes by means of the effective Lagrangian based on the linear representation of chiral symmetry. In this paper, we shall construct chiral invariant Lagrangians based on the linear realization of chiral SW (2) symmetry and study especially decay widths of scalar mesons into two o- mesons and n-n scattering. Although investigations into the structure of chiral SW (3) breaking are interesting problems, the treatment of 'symmetry breaking is largely model-dependent in the effective Lagrangian

TL;DR: In this paper, a renormalizable theory of massive neutral pseudovector mesons interacting with nucleons is treated in the Stuckelberg formalism using some recently developed nonlinear techniques.
Abstract: The conventionally nonrenormalizable theory of massive neutral pseudovector mesons interacting with nucleons is treated in the St\"uckelberg formalism using some recently developed nonlinear techniques. The theory is split into two parts: a renormalizable interaction of mesons with nucleons, which can be treated by standard methods, and an exponential interaction of pseudoscalar mesons with nucleons, which is dealt with using nonlinear methods. It is shown that all the infinities of the theory may be eliminated by adding suitable counterterms. Thus the complete theory becomes renormalizable. Similar considerations also apply if a parity-violating term is introduced in the original pseudovector interaction.
