We compute the diagonal isovector axial-vector as well as induced pseudoscalar form factors of nucleon, $Sigma$ and $Xi$ baryons by employing the light-cone QCD sum rules to leading order in QCD and including distribution amplitudes up to twist 6. Extrapolating our sum-rules results to low-momentum transfers, we make a comparison with experimental and lattice-QCD results where we can achieve a nice qualitative and quantitative agreement.

We evaluate the strangeness-conserving $N N$, $SigmaSigma$, $XiXi$, $LambdaSigma$ and the strangeness-changing $Lambda N$, $Sigma N$, $LambdaXi$, $SigmaXi$ axial charges in lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks and extend our previous work on pseudoscalar-meson-octet-baryon coupling constants so as to include $piXiXi$, $KLambdaXi$ and $KSigmaXi$ coupling constants. We find that the axial charges have rather weak quark-mass dependence and the breaking in SU(3)-flavor symmetry is small at each quark-mass point we consider.
We present a study of axial charges of baryon ground and resonant states with relativistic constituent quark models. In particular, the axial charges of octet and decuplet $N$, $Sigma$, $Xi$, $Delta$, $Sigma^*$, and $Xi^*$ baryons are considered. The theoretical predictions are compared to existing experimental data and results from other approaches, notably from lattice quantum chromodynamics and chiral perturbation theory. The relevance of axial charges with regard to $pi$-dressing and spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking is discussed.
Previous lattice QCD calculations of axial vector and pseudoscalar form factors show significant deviation from the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) relation between them. Since the original correlation functions satisfy PCAC, the observed deviations from the operator identity cast doubt on whether all the systematics in the extraction of form factors from the correlation functions are under control. We identify the problematic systematic as a missed excited state, whose energy as a function of the momentum transfer squared, $Q^2$, is determined from the analysis of the 3-point functions themselves. Its mass is much smaller than those of the excited states previously considered and including it impacts the extraction of all the ground state matrix elements. The form factors extracted using these mass/energy gaps satisfy PCAC and other consistency conditions, and validate the pion-pole dominance hypothesis. We also show that the extraction of the axial charge $g_A$ is very sensitive to the value of the mass gaps of the excited states used and current lattice data do not provide an unambiguous determination of these, unlike the $Q^2 eq 0$ case. To highlight the differences and improvement between the conventional versus the new analysis strategy, we present a comparison of results obtained on a physical pion mass ensemble at $aapprox 0.0871,mathrm{fm}$. With the new strategy, we find $g_A = 1.30(6)$. A very significant improvement over previous lattice results is found for the axial charge radius $r_A = 0.74(6),mathrm{fm}$, extracted using the $z$-expansion to parameterize the $Q^2$ behavior of $G_A(Q^2)$, and $g_P^ast = 8.06(44)$ obtained using the pion pole-dominance ansatz to fit the $Q^2$ behavior of the induced pseudoscalar form factor $widetilde{G}_P(Q^2)$.
We present results on the nucleon axial form factors within lattice QCD using two flavors of degenerate twisted mass fermions. Volume effects are examined using simulations at two volumes of spatial length $L=2.1$ fm and $L=2.8$ fm. Cut-off effects are investigated using three different values of the lattice spacings, namely $a=0.089$ fm, $a=0.070$ fm and $a=0.056$ fm. The nucleon axial charge is obtained in the continuum limit and chirally extrapolated to the physical pion mass enabling comparison with experiment.
We use a continuum quark+diquark approach to the nucleon bound-state problem in relativistic quantum field theory to deliver parameter-free predictions for the nucleon axial and induced pseudoscalar form factors, $G_A$ and $G_P$, and unify them with the pseudoscalar form factor $G_5$ or, equivalently, the pion-nucleon form factor $G_{pi NN}$. We explain how partial conservation of the axial-vector current and the associated Goldberger-Treiman relation are satisfied once all necessary couplings of the external current to the building blocks of the nucleon are constructed consistently; in particular, we fully resolve the seagull couplings to the diquark-quark vertices associated with the axial-vector and pseudoscalar currents. Among the results we describe, the following are worth highlighting. A dipole form factor defined by an axial charge $g_A=G_A(0)=1.25(3)$ and a mass-scale $M_A = 1.23(3) m_N$, where $m_N$ is the nucleon mass, can accurately describe the pointwise behavior of $G_A$. Concerning $G_P$, we obtain the pseudoscalar charge $g_p^ast = 8.80(23)$, and find that the pion pole dominance approach delivers a reliable estimate of the directly computed result. Our computed value of the pion-nucleon coupling constant, $g_{pi NN}/m_N =14.02(33)/{rm GeV}$ is consistent with a Roy--Steiner-equation analysis of pion-nucleon scattering. We also observe a marked suppression of the size of the $d$-quark component relative to that of the $u$-quark in the ratio $g_A^d/g_A^u=-0.16(2)$, which highlights the presence of strong diquark correlations inside the nucleon -- both scalar and axial-vector, with the scalar diquark being dominant.
