We examine the analytic structure, in powers of the quark mass (m), of the chiral loop corrections to the pion-nucleon sigma term arising from coupling to the lowest mass baryon decuplet. The leading non-analytic term is found to go like m2 In(m/2a) (with a the delta-nucleon mass splitting), and to be quite significant numerically.

Fits of the p4 covariant SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory to lattice QCD nucleon mass data from several collaborations for 2 and 2+1 flavors are presented. We consider contributions from explicit Δ(1232) degrees of freedom, finite volume and finite spacing corrections. We emphasize here on our Nf = 2 + 1 study. We obtain low-energy constants of natural size that are compatible with the rather linear pion-mass dependence of the nucleon mass observed in lattice QCD. We report a value of σπN = 41(5)(4) MeV in the 2 flavor case and σπN = 52(3)(8) MeV for 2+1 flavors.

Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we investigate a nucleon mass splitting and pion–nucleon coupling in the isospin medium. We find that there exists a nucleon mass splitting which is exactly given by the half of the meson mass splitting because nucleon has the half isospin charge of the charged mesons. In addition, we also investigate the pion–nucleon and four pion interactions which requires the modification of the known Abelian-type unitary gauge fixing because of the non-Abelian structure of the isospin medium. After finding the non-Abelian unitary gauge fixing, we find that in the isospin medium the couplings only for π0 π0 π+ π- and π0 π0π0 π0 of four pion interactions shift, while there is no pion–nucleon coupling splitting in spite of the nucleon's and meson's mass splittings.

We show that in the quenched approximation, lattice QCD calculations miss important corrections to the mass of hadrons. For example, we argue that the nucleon mass is overestimated by up to 30% while the nucleon-delta mass splitting is underestimated by a similar amount. As the quenched approximation is relaxed, the quark mass decreased and the lattice size increased, these errors should go away. A systematic method of monitoring the size of the residual error is suggested.
