We correct the values of the dominant nucleon to Delta axial transition form factors CA_5 and CA_6 published in C. Alexandrou et.al., Phys. Rev. D 76,094511 (2007). The analysis error affects only the values obtained when using the hybrid action in the low Q^2 regime bringing them into agreement with those obtained with Wilson fermions.

We present results on the nucleon axial vector form factors $G_A(q^2)$ and $G_p(q^2)$ in the quenched theory and using two degenerate flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions for momentum transfer squared from about 0.1 to about 2 GeV^2 and for pion masses in the range of 380 to 600 MeV. We also present results on the corresponding N to Delta axial vector transition form factors $C_5^A(q^2)$ and $C_6^A(q^2)$ using, in addition to Wilson fermions, domain wall valence quarks and dynamical staggered sea quarks provided by the MILC collaboration.
We present results on the isoscalar form factors including the disconnected contributions, as well as on the strange and charm quark form factors. Using previous results on the isovector form factors, we determine the flavor decomposition of the nucleon axial form factors. These are computed using an ensemble of $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions simulated with physical values of quark masses. We investigate the SU(3) flavor symmetry and show that there is up to 10% breaking for the axial and up to 50% for the induced pseudoscalar form factors. By fitting the $Q^2$-dependence, we determined the corresponding root mean square radii. The pseudoscalar coupling of the $eta$ meson and the nucleon is found to be $g_{eta NN}=3.7(1.0)(0.7)$, and the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy for the octet combination about 50%.
We report our numerical lattice QCD calculations of the isovector nucleon form factors for the vector and axialvector currents: the vector, induced tensor, axialvector, and induced pseudoscalar form factors. The calculation is carried out with the gauge configurations generated with N_f=2+1 dynamical domain wall fermions and Iwasaki gauge actions at beta = 2.13, corresponding to a cutoff 1/a = 1.73 GeV, and a spatial volume of (2.7 fm)^3. The up and down quark masses are varied so the pion mass lies between 0.33 and 0.67 GeV while the strange quark mass is about 12% heavier than the physical one. We calculate the form factors in the range of momentum transfers, 0.2 < q^2 < 0.75 GeV^2. The vector and induced tensor form factors are well described by the conventional dipole forms and result in significant underestimation of the Dirac and Pauli mean-squared radii and the anomalous magnetic moment compared to the respective experimental values. We show that the axialvector form factor is significantly affected by the finite spatial volume of the lattice. In particular in the axial charge, g_A/g_V, the finite volume effect scales with a single dimensionless quantity, m_pi L, the product of the calculated pion mass and the spatial lattice extent. Our results indicate that for this quantity, m_pi L > 6 is required to ensure that finite volume effects are below 1%.
The electromagnetic nucleon to Delta transition form factors are evaluated using two degenerate flavors of dynamical Wilson fermions and using dynamical sea staggered fermions with domain wall valence quarks. The two subdominant quadrupole form factors are evaluated for the first time in full QCD to sufficient accuracy to exclude a zero value, which is taken as a signal for deformation in the nucleon-Delta system. For the Coulomb quadrupole form factor the unquenched results show deviations from the quenched results at low q^2 bringing dynamical lattice results closer to experiment, thereby confirming the importance of pion cloud contributions on this quantity.
We present high statistics results for the isovector nucleon charges and form factors using seven ensembles of 2+1-flavor Wilson-clover fermions. The axial and pseudoscalar form factors obtained on each ensemble satisfy the PCAC relation once the lowest energy $Npi$ excited state is included in the spectral decomposition of the correlation functions used for extracting the ground state matrix elements. Similarly, we find evidence that the $Npipi $ excited state contributes to the correlation functions with the vector current, consistent with the vector meson dominance model. The resulting form factors are consistent with the Kelly parameterization of the experimental electric and magnetic data. Our final estimates for the isovector charges are $g_{A}^{u-d} = 1.31(06)(05)_{sys}$, $g_{S}^{u-d} = 1.06(10)(06)_{sys}$, and $g_{T}^{u-d} = 0.95(05)(02)_{sys}$, where the first error is the overall analysis uncertainty and the second is an additional combined systematic uncertainty. The form factors yield: (i) the axial charge radius squared, ${langle r_A^2 rangle}^{u-d}=0.428(53)(30)_{sys} {rm fm}^2$, (ii) the induced pseudoscalar charge, $g_P^ast=7.9(7)(9)_{sys}$, (iii) the pion-nucleon coupling $g_{pi {rm NN}} = 12.4(1.2)$, (iv) the electric charge radius squared, ${langle r_E^2 rangle}^{u-d} = 0.85(12)(19)_{sys} {rm fm}^2$, (v) the magnetic charge radius squared, ${langle r_M^2 rangle}^{u-d} = 0.71(19)(23)_{rm sys} {rm fm}^2$, and (vi) the magnetic moment $mu^{u-d} = 4.15(22)(10)_{rm sys}$. All our results are consistent with phenomenological/experimental values but with larger errors. Lastly, we present a Pade parameterization of the axial, electric and magnetic form factors over the range $0.04< Q^2 <1$ GeV${}^2$ for phenomenological studies.
