Abstract:
We propose a method for implementing the large- N(c), large-N(f) limit of QCD at the effective Lagrangian level. Depending on the value of the ratio N(f)/N(c), different patterns of chiral symmetry breaking can arise, leading in particular to different behaviors of the eta(') mass in the combined large-N limit.
