Abstract :
[en] We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large-Nc limits: 't Hooft, QCDAS and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistictype kinetic energy, stringlike confinement, and one-gluon-exchange term, thus leading to well-defined results even for massless quarks. We analytically prove that the light baryon masses scale as Nc, Nc^2 , and 1 in the 't Hooft, QCDAS and Corrigan-Ramond limits, respectively. Those results confirm previous ones obtained by using either diagrammatic methods or constituent approaches, mostly valid for heavy quarks.
