Abstract
We investigate the axial-vector nucleon-to-delta transition form factors in the framework of relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory at the one-loop order using the complex-mass renormalization scheme. We determine the available six free parameters by fitting to an empirical parametrization of the form factors obtained from the BNL neutrino bubble chamber experiments. A unique feature of our calculation is the prediction of a non-vanishing form factor $C_3^A(Q^2)$. Moreover, our results show a surprising sensitivity to the coupling constant $\texttt{g}_1$ of the leading-order Lagrangian ${\cal L}^{(1)}_{\pi \Delta}$.
Highlights
The Δð1232Þ resonance is the first and best-established excitation of the nucleon [1]

Summary
The Δð1232Þ resonance is the first and best-established excitation of the nucleon [1]. While there is a substantial amount of empirical information on the electromagnetic (vector) nucleon-to-delta transition [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15] [38] that form factors of unstable particles should be determined from the renormalized three-point function at the complex pole [23] to the electromagnetic nucleon-to-Δ resonance transition to third chiral order in manifestly Lorentzinvariant chiral effective field theory.
