Abstract

In the chiral limit, the D=6D=6 contribution to the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of the VVAA\mathrm{VV-AA} correlator of quark currents only depends on two vacuum condensates, which can be related to hadronic matrix elements associated to CP violation in non-leptonic kaon decays. We use those relations to determine (ππ)I=2Q8K\langle(\pi\pi)_{I=2}|\mathcal{Q}_{8}|K\rangle, using the updated ALEPH spectral functions. Alternatively, we use those relations in the opposite direction. Taking the values of the matrix elements from the lattice to obtain the D=6D=6 vacuum elements provides a new short-distance constraint which allows for an inclusive determination of fπf_{\pi} and an updated value for the D=8D=8 condensate.
