The baryon axial vector current is computed in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large-Nc limit, where Nc is the number of color charges. One-loop nonanalytic corrections of order mq ln mq are comprised in the analysis, with contributions of both intermediate octet and decuplet baryon states, to all orders in the 1/Nc expansion of the axial vector current relevant for Nc = 3. Theoretical expressions are obtained in the limit of vanishing decuplet-octet mass difference only, which allows one to carry out a full comparison with conventional heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory results for three flavors of light quarks and at the physical value Nc = 3. Both approaches perfectly agree to all orders considered. Furthermore, a numerical analysis via a least-squares fit is performed in order to extract the values of the free parameters of the theory, using the experimental data available. The predictions of formalism are remarkable.PACS numbers:
