Test of the Skyrme Effective Field Theory Using Quenched Lattice QCD

The Skyrme effective field theory is tested by evaluating nucleon ground state matrix elements of the correlation functions for two flavor density operators and two pseudoscalar density operators in the Skyrme model and comparing them with results in quenched lattice QCD. The possiblility of using quenched lattice QCD to study higher-order terms in effective field theory is also discussed.
