Hyperon in Chiral Effective Quark Models

Baryonic correlation functions are calculated within an effective chiral quark model motivated by the instanton liquid model of QCD. Using a flavour SU(3) symmetry for the local four-quark interaction and taking rotational zero modes for the quantization into account low-energy hadronic observables are in surprising agreement with experimental data.
