Abstract
The nucleon axial current and related form factors are investigated in a model of relativistic quarks confined by a scalar potential of the form M(r)=c rn, with special emphasis on center-of-mass corrections and pionic effects. Pionic contributions to the axial form factor GA(q2) from a fπ∂μφ term with constant fπ are demonstrated to vanish. The pion-nucleon form factor GπNN(q2) is derived and turns out to be longer ranged than GA(q2). The induced pseudo-scalar form factor Gp(q2) is shown to be connected to GπNN(q2) by the standard PCAC relation, contributions from the quark core to Gp(q2) being negligibly small.
