Abstract:We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, f 2 /f 1 , and g 1 /f 1 , within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by using the experimental data for the masses of the baryon octet and the decuplet. Using then the existing experimental data for the magnetic moments of the baryon octet and the decay constants of hyperon semileptonic decays, we are able to determine all the hyperon semileptonic decay constants f 2 /f 1 and g 1 /f 1 of the baryon octet unequivocally. In addition, we also present the results of the axial-vector transition constants from the baryon decuplet to the octet.
