To be able to compare the Lagrangian (F.11), which is expressed <strong>in</strong> terms ofthe velo city dependent<br />
field Hv , with eq. (F.13), one has to go <strong>in</strong> eq. (F.11) <strong>in</strong>to the rest-frame system of the nucleon by<br />
choos<strong>in</strong>g<br />
= (1,0,0,0) . (F.14)<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, the sp<strong>in</strong> operator takes the form SJ.t = (0, 8)7, where Si is given by8<br />
vJ.t<br />
(F.15)<br />
Note furt her that the four-derivative öJ.t (oJ.t) reads öJ.t = (öD, -V) (ö J.t = (ÖD, V)) . It is easy to<br />
demonstrate that the zeroth component of the derivative operator does not appear <strong>in</strong> such contact<br />
<strong>in</strong>teractions. For that we express öJ.t us<strong>in</strong>g the third equality <strong>in</strong> eq. (F.2) as:<br />
(F.16)<br />
Now, all terms that <strong>in</strong>volve the operator v . 0 act<strong>in</strong>g onto the nucleon field Hv are redundant and<br />
can be dropped <strong>in</strong> the effective Lagrangian. Further, contract<strong>in</strong>g Öv with the second term <strong>in</strong> the<br />
parenthesis <strong>in</strong> eq. (F.16) yields only the spatial derivative, s<strong>in</strong>ce SO = ° <strong>in</strong> the rest-frame system.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>ally, we po<strong>in</strong>t out that the large (small) component field Hv (hv) def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> eq. (3.160), which<br />
is, <strong>in</strong> general, a four component Dirac sp<strong>in</strong>or, turns <strong>in</strong>to the two component Pauli sp<strong>in</strong>or N (N):<br />
(F.17)<br />
With these rules it is easy to rewrite the Lagrangian (F.11) <strong>in</strong> the same notation as <strong>in</strong> eq. (F.13)<br />
and to establish the connection between the constants CL.,14 and CY1, ... ,18' Concretely, one obta<strong>in</strong>s:<br />
7 <strong>The</strong> zeroth component of SJl. vanishes because of its def<strong>in</strong>ition (F.l) and eq. (F.14).<br />
8 We use here Lat<strong>in</strong> letters to denote the components of various three-vectors. Clearly, we do not dist<strong>in</strong>guish<br />
between co- and contravariant quantities <strong>in</strong> such cases.
