Description
We analyze the Okubo SU(3) relation among the hyperon magnetic moments in the usual scheme of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). We classify the one-loop diagrams, including those with intermediate decuplet baryons, in a simple way according to whether or not they satisfy the Okubo relation. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that one-loop contributions to the hyperon magnetic moments in general violate the Okubo relation if the physical masses are employed for the meson propagators in the loops.
