Glozman %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0370-2693(99)00706-6 %X It is shown that the principal pattern in baryon spectroscopy, which is associated with the flavor-spin dependent hyperfine interaction, is due to the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD and persists in the chiral limit. All corrections, which are associated with a finite quark (Goldstone boson) mass are suppressed by the factor $(\mu/\Lambda_\chi$)^2 and higher. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9904459v2
