Corrections to current-algebra analysis of K→3π decay amplitudes are calculated using the dimension-four effective chiral Lagrangians, which are uniquely determined from the integration of nontopological chiral anomalies. We find that the constant and linear terms in the ΔI = ½ amplitude are in good agreement with experiment; the previous discrepancy of 20–35% between current algebra and experiment is thus accounted for by including the higher order chiral Lagrangians. Predictions for quadratic terms are also given for both ΔI = ½ and [Formula: see text] transitions.

In this paper, the non-leptonic three-body decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are studied by introducing two-meson distribution amplitude for the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] pairs in naive and QCD factorization (QCDF) approaches, such that the analysis is simplified into quasi-two body decays. By considering that the vector meson is being ejected in factorization, the resonant and non-resonant contributions are analyzed by using intermediate mesons in Breit–Wigner resonance formalism and the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT), respectively. The calculated values of the resonant and non-resonant branching ratio of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes are compared with the experimental data. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the non-resonant contributions are about 70–80% of experimental data, for which the total results by considering resonant contributions are in good agreement with the experiment.

AbstractWe calculate the light-quark condensate, the strange-quark condensate, the pion condensate, and the axial condensate in three-flavor chiral perturbation theory ($$\chi $$ χ PT) in the presence of an isospin chemical potential at next-to-leading order at zero temperature. It is shown that the three-flavor $$\chi $$ χ PT effective potential and condensates can be mapped onto two-flavor $$\chi $$ χ PT ones by integrating out mesons with strange-quark content (kaons and eta), with renormalized couplings. We compare the results for the light-quark and pion condensates at finite pseudoscalar source with ($$2+1$$ 2 + 1 )-flavor lattice QCD, and we also compare the axial condensate at zero pseudoscalar and axial sources with lattice QCD data. We find that the light-quark, pion, and axial condensates are in very good agreement with lattice data. There is an overall improvement by including NLO effects.

Abstract We study the scaling of kaon decay amplitudes with the number of colours, $$N_c$$Nc, in a theory with four degenerate flavours, $$N_f=4$$Nf=4. In this scenario, two current-current operators, $$Q^\pm $$Q±, mediate $$\Delta S=1$$ΔS=1 transitions, such as the two isospin amplitudes of non-leptonic kaon decays for $$K\rightarrow (\pi \pi )_{I=0,2}$$K→(ππ)I=0,2, $$A_0$$A0 and $$A_2$$A2. In particular, we concentrate on the simpler $$K\rightarrow \pi $$K→π amplitudes, $$A^\pm $$A±, mediated by these two operators. A diagrammatic analysis of the large-$$N_c$$Nc scaling of these observables is presented, which demonstrates the anticorrelation of the leading $${{\mathcal {O}}}(1/N_c)$$O(1/Nc) and $${{\mathcal {O}}}(N_f/N_c^2)$$O(Nf/Nc2) corrections in both amplitudes. Using our new $$N_f=4$$Nf=4 and previous quenched data, we confirm this expectation and show that these corrections are naturally large and may be at the origin of the $$\Delta I=1/2$$ΔI=1/2 rule. The evidence for the latter is indirect, based on the matching of the amplitudes to their prediction in Chiral Perturbation Theory, from which the LO low-energy couplings of the chiral weak Hamiltonian, $$g^\pm $$g±, can be determined. A NLO estimate of the $$K \rightarrow (\pi \pi )_{I=0,2}$$K→(ππ)I=0,2 isospin amplitudes can then be derived, which is in good agreement with the experimental value.

The [Formula: see text] rule in K → ππ decays and its status are discussed and reviewed. First, we present the phenomenological deductions which have a firm basis, including the penguin diagram, vacuum insertion, current algebra and chiral perturbation theory. Then we proceed to discuss new conjectures and speculations e.g. 1/N expansion, W-exchange, low-energy penguin diagrams, the s - d self-energy tadpole, QCD-duality, instanton effects, etc. and to assess their roles in understanding the [Formula: see text] enigma.

We consider the noncommutative generalization of the chiral perturbation theory. The resultant coupling constants are severely restricted by the model and in good agreement with the data. When applied to the Skyrme model, our scheme reproduces the non-Skyrme term with the right coefficient. We comment on a similar treatment of the linear σ model.
