Abstract: (Elsevier)
We show that after simultaneous quantization of the rotational and translational collective degrees of freedom of chiral solitons, the p-wave pion-nucleon scattering amplitude can be generated in close analogy with the phenomenologically successful Δ-isobar model. In particular, the Δ-decay width arises naturally. We also comment on the usual background scattering method and find that the absence of the Δ resonance in this approach is closely related to the fact that the value of the axial vector coupling constant g A comes out too small. We discuss this in the context of the Adler-Weisberger sum rule. We also comment on some problems in s-wave πN scattering.
