Light baryon masses in different large-$N_c$ limits

We investigate the behavior of light baryon masses in three inequivalent large-$N_c$ limits: 't~Hooft, QCD${}_{\mathrm{A}\mathrm{S}}$ and Corrigan-Ramond. Our framework is a constituent quark model with relativistic-type kinetic energy, stringlike confinement and one-gluon-exchange term, thus leading to well-defined results even for massless quarks. We analytically prove that the light baryon masses scale as $N_c$, $N_c^2$ and $1$ in the 't~Hooft, QCD$_{{\rm AS}}$ and Corrigan-Ramond limits respectively. Those results confirm previous ones obtained by using either diagrammatic methods or constituent approaches, mostly valid for heavy quarks.
