abstract
We determine the hyperon vector couplings $f_1(0)$ for $\Sigma^{-}\rightarrow nl^-\bar{\nu_l}$ and $\Xi^0\rightarrow\Sigma^{+}l^-\bar{\nu_l}$ semileptonic decays in the continuum limit with (2+1)-flavors of dynamical domain-wall fermions, using the Iwasaki gauge action at two different lattice spacings of $a$=0.114(2) and 0.086(2) fm. A theoretical estimation of flavor SU(3)-breaking effect on the vector coupling is required to extract $V_{us}$ from the experimental rate of hyperon beta decays. We obtain the vector couplings $f_1(0)$ for $\Sigma\rightarrow N$ and $\Xi\rightarrow \Sigma$ beta-decays with an accuracy of less than one percent. We then find that lattice results of $f_1(0)$ combined with the best estimate of $|V_{us}|$ with imposing Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity are slightly deviated from the experimental result of $|V_{us}f_1(0)|$ for the $\Sigma\rightarrow N$ beta-decay. This discrepancy can be attributed to an assumption made in the experimental analysis on $|V_{us}f_1(0)|$, where the induced second-class form factor $g_2$ is set to be zero regardless of broken SU(3) symmetry. We report on this matter and then estimate the possible value of $g_2(0)$, which is evaluated from the experimental decay rate with our lattice result of $f_1(0)$ under the first-row CKM-unitarity condition.

Wave functions fixed from a mass-spectrum fit in the relativistic three-quark model are used to compute branching fractions, LFU ratios, and the complete set of octet hyperon semileptonic transition form factors without extra parameters, agreeing with data and lattice results where available.

Scalar and Tensor Form Factors for $\Lambda \rightarrow p\ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$ from Lattice QCD
