The application of chiral perturbation theory to low energy processes of abnormal intrinsic parity (anomalous) is discussed. The full infinite part at next-to-leading order is calculated. Estimates of the finite part of the effective Lagrangian from vector meson dominance and the chiral constituent quark model are obtained. This is then applied to decays of pseudoscalars to photon–photon and photon–three-pseudoscalar couplings.

Low Energies

Chiral perturbation theory is a much successful effective field theory of quantum chromodynamics at low energies. The effective Lagrangian is constructed systematically order by order in powers of the momentum p2, and until now the leading order (LO), next-to leading order (NLO), next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) and next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (NNNLO) have been studied. In the following review we consider the construction of the Lagrangian and in particular focus on the NNNLO case. We in addition review and discuss the pion mass and decay constant at the same order, which are fundamental quantities to study for chiral perturbation theory. Due to the large number of terms in the Lagrangian and hence low energy constants arising at NNNLO, some remarks are made about the predictivity of this effective field theory.

Energy Constants

The present study reveals interesting constraining effects of isospin filtering reactions on the low energy constants present in meson-baryon chiral effective Lagrangian, particularly, on the next-to-leading order constants. Our model has been developed within the framework of Unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory and has been fitted to two-body scattering data in the sector of S = −1. In addition, the model was further elaborated by means of the inclusion of high-spin hyperonic resonances.

Multiparticle states with additional pions are expected to be a non-negligible source of excited-state contamination in lattice simulations at the physical point. It is shown that baryon chiral perturbation theory can be employed to calculate the contamination due to two-particle nucleon–pion-states in various nucleon observables. Leading order results are presented for the nucleon axial, tensor and scalar charge and three Mellin moments of parton distribution functions (quark momentum fraction, helicity and transversity moment). Taking into account phenomenological results for the charges and moments the impact of the nucleon–pion-states on lattice estimates for these observables can be estimated. The nucleon–pion-state contribution results in an overestimation of all charges and moments obtained with the plateau method. The overestimation is at the 5–10% level for source-sink separations of about 2 fm. The source-sink separations accessible in contemporary lattice simulations are found to be too small for chiral perturbation theory to be directly applicable.

Abstract In this paper, we calculate the equation of state of two-flavor finite isospin chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in the pion-condensed phase at zero temperature. We show that the transition from the vacuum phase to a Bose-condensed phase is of second order. While the tree-level result has been known for some time, surprisingly quantum effects have not yet been incorporated into the equation of state.  We find that the corrections to the quantities we compute, namely the isospin density, pressure, and equation of state, increase with increasing isospin chemical potential. We compare our results to recent lattice simulations of 2 + 1 flavor QCD with physical quark masses. The agreement with the lattice results is generally good and improves somewhat as we go from leading order to next-to-leading order in $$\chi $$χPT.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider two-flavor QCD at zero temperature and finite isospin chemical potential $$\mu _I$$ μ I using a model-independent analysis within chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. We calculate the effective potential, the chiral condensate and the pion condensate in the pion-condensed phase at both zero and nonzero pionic source. We compare our finite pionic source results for the chiral condensate and the pion condensate with recent (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD results. Agreement with lattice results generally improves as one goes from leading order to next-to-leading order.
