Abstract
We examine the analytic structure, in powers of the quark mass (m), of the chiral loop corrections to the pion-nucleon sigma term arising from coupling to the lowest mass baryon decuplet. The leading non-analytic term is found to go like m2 In(m/2a) (with a the delta-nucleon mass splitting), and to be quite significant numerically.
