Strong C P violation and large- N c spin-flavor symmetry

We revisit the contribution of the QCD θ ¯ term to the C P -violating pion-nucleon couplings and the nucleon electric dipole moment in a combined large- N c and chiral perturbation theory framework. In particular, we approach this issue through the emergent spin-flavor symmetry of the baryon sector...

Zusammenfassung:We revisit the contribution of the QCD θ ¯ term to the C P -violating pion-nucleon couplings and the nucleon electric dipole moment in a combined large- N c and chiral perturbation theory framework. In particular, we approach this issue through the emergent spin-flavor symmetry of the baryon sector at large but finite N c . We obtain good agreement with previous analyses for the pion-nucleon couplings and show that the large- N c framework indicates that tree-level contributions to the electric dipole moment possibly play a dominant role. The spin-flavor symmetry also enables us to provide novel constraints on C P -violating pion- Δ couplings, as well as the Δ electric dipole moment and Δ N transition moment.
