THE PROBLEM OF BOSONIZATION OF LOCAL FOUR-QUARK OPERATORS
The problem of bosonization of standard local four-quark operators, by involving the penguin operator, with ΔI = 1/2 and ΔS = 1 selection rules, is studied. We show that the well-known Cronin's operator determined within the effective chiral Lagrangian approach with nonlinear realization of chiral SU (3) × SU (3) symmetry (so-called chiral perturbation theory at the hadronic level) can realize the hadronic level description of local four-quark operators with (V − A) × (V − A) quark structure only. Also, it is shown that any attempts to apply Cronin's operator for bosonization of the penguin operator, possessing (V − A) × (V + A) quark structure, are doomed to failure. The latter is explained by the inability of Cronin's operator to describe correctly the s-wave final-state interaction, which is very important for transitions governed by the penguin operator. The asymmetry of quark condensate is calculated. The sign of this asymmetry is opposite to that one assumed in the framework of QCD sum rules.
