How chiral solitons relate K-barN and. pi. N scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Large-N arguments suggest that baryons correspond to soliton solutions of the optimal low-energy Lagrangean of QCD. Such solitons are characterized by a hedgehog symmetry which mixes isospin and space rotations. We show that this symmetry implies linear relations between experimental K-barN and ..pi..N elastic partial-wave scattering amplitudes. At least in one case these linear relations are satisfied with an extremely high accuracy.
