The nucleon form factors of the energy-momentum tensor are studied in the large-N c limit in the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model.

We investigate three different axial-vector form factors of the nucleon, G 0 A , G 3 A , G 8 A , within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model, emphasizing their strangeness content. We take into account the rotational 1/N c and linear strange quark (m s ) contributions using the symmetryconserving SU(3) quantization and assuming isospin symmetry. The strange axial-vector form factor is also obtained and they all are discussed in the context of the parity-violating scattering of polarized electrons off the nucleon and its relevance to the strange vector form factors.

We examine the electromagnetic properties of the ∆(1232) resonance within the self-consistent chiral quark-soliton model. In particular we present the ∆ form factors of the vector-current GE0(Q 2 ), GE2(Q 2 ) and GM1(Q 2 ) for a momentum-transfer range of 0 ≤ Q 2 ≤ 1 GeV 2 . We apply the symmetry-conserving quantization of the soliton and take 1/Nc rotational corrections into account. Values for the magnetic moments of all decuplet baryons as well as for the N −∆ transition are given. Special interest is also given to the electric quadrupole moment of the ∆.
