Title: Large- N c and renormalization group constraints on parity-violating low-energy coefficients for three-derivative operators in pionless effective field theory

Abstract

We extend, from operators with one derivative to operators with three derivatives, the analysis of two-body hadronic parity violation in a combined pionless effective field theory (EFTπ/) and large-Nc expansion, where Nc is the number of colors in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In elastic scattering, these operators contribute to S–P and P–D wave transitions, with five operators and their accompanying low energy coefficients (LECs) characterizing the S–P transitions and six operators and LECs those in P–D transitions. We show that the large-Nc analysis separates them into leading order in Nc, next-to-leading order in Nc, etc. Relationships among EFTπ/ LECs emerge in the large-Nc expansion. We also discuss the renormalization group (RG) scale dependence of these LECs by considering two distinct limits: one in which large-Nc relationships among LECs hold but RG-related approximate expansions do not, and vice versa. Our analysis can complement lattice QCD calculations and help prioritize future parity-violating experiments.
