Collective Resonances in the Soliton Model Approach to Meson--Baryon Scattering
The proper description of hadronic decays of baryon resonances has been a
long standing problem in soliton models for baryons. In this talk I present a
solution to this problem in the three flavor Skyrme model that is consistent
with large-Nc consistency conditions. As an application I discuss hadronic
pentaquark decays and show that predictions based on axial current matrix
elements are erroneous.Comment: Contribution to QNP06 (Madrid, June 2006), 3 pages epja styl
Spin Structure Functions in Chiral Quark Soliton Models
In this talk I review studies of hadron structure functions in bosonized
chiral quark models. Such models require regularization and I show that the
two--fold Pauli--Villars regularization scheme not only fully regularizes the
effective action but also leads the scaling laws for structure functions. This
scheme is consistent with other computations of the pion structure function in
that model. For the nucleon structure functions the present approach serves to
determine the regularization prescription for structure functions whose leading
moments are not given by matrix elements of local operators. Some numerical
results are presented for the spin structure functions and the role of strange
quarks is addressed.Comment: Based on plenary talk presented at the QCD-Workshop in

Quantum Energies of Solitons
For renormalizable models a method is presented to unambiguously compute the
energy that is carried by localized field configurations (solitons). A
variational approach for the total energy is utilized to search for soliton
configurations. As an example a 1+1 dimensional model is considered. The
quantum energy of configurations that are translationally invariant for a
subset of coordinates is discussed.Comment: 6 pages LaTeX with ws-p8-50x6-00.cls (included). To appear in the

Flavor Symmetry Breaking and Strangeness in the Nucleon
We suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the
baryon wave--functions while the charge operators have no (or only small)
explicit symmetry breaking components. We utilize the collective coordinate
approach to chiral soliton models to support this picture. In particular we
compute the ratios for hyperon beta--decay and the strangeness
contribution to the nucleon axial current matrix elements and analyze their
variation with increasing flavor symmetry breaking.Comment: 3 pages, EJPA-style. Based on talks presented at QNP 2002, Juelich,

Pentaquarks in a Breathing Mode Approach to Chiral Solitons
In this talk I report on a computation of the spectra of exotic pentaquarks
and radial excitations of the low--lying and baryons in a
chiral soliton model. In addition I present model results for the transition
magnetic moments between the N(1710) and the nucleon.Comment: Talk presented at the Pentaquark workshop at Spring--8, July 2004.
