Abstract: (Springer)
We review the recent progress of the theoretical understanding of spin polarizabilities of the hyperon in the framework of SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We present the results of a systematic leading-order calculation of hyperon Compton scattering and extract the forward spin polarizability (γ0_{0}) of hyperons. The results obtained for γ0_{0} in the case of nucleons agree with the known results of SU(2) HBChPT when kaon loops are not considered.
