Large Nc Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction and negative parity s--wave   baryon resonances
  It is shown that in the 70 and 700 SU(6) irreducible spaces, the SU(6) extension of the Weinberg-Tomozawa (WT) s-wave meson-baryon interaction incorporating vector mesons ({\it hep-ph/0505233}) scales as ${\cal O}(N_c^0)$, instead of the well known ${\cal O}(N_c^{-1})$ behavior for its SU(3) counterpart. However, the WT interaction behaves as order ${\cal O}(N_c^{-1})$ within the 56 and 1134 meson-baryon spaces. Explicit expressions for the WT couplings (eigenvalues) in the irreducible SU(2$N_F$) spaces, for arbitrary $N_F$ and $N_c$, are given. This extended interaction is used as a kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, to study the large $N_c$ scaling of masses and widths of the lowest--lying negative parity s-wave baryon resonances. Analytical expressions are found in the $N_c\to \infty$ limit, from which it can be deduced that resonance widths and excitation energies $(M_R-M)$ behave as order ${\cal O} (N^0_c)$, in agreement with model independent arguments, and moreover they fall in the 70-plet, as expected in constituent quark models for an orbital excitation. For the 56 and 1134 spaces, excitation energies and widths grow ${\cal O} (N_c^{1/2})$ indicating that such resonances do not survive in the large $N_c$ limit. The relation of this latter $N_c$ behavior with the existence of exotic components in these resonances is discussed. The interaction comes out repulsive in the 700.
