Abstract

It is shown that the usual large-NcN_c counting of the coupling constant L7L_{7} of the O(p4){\cal O}(p^4) low-energy chiral SU(3)SU(3) Lagrangian \cite{GL85} is in conflict with general properties of QCD in the large-NcN_c limit. The solution of this conflict within the framework of a chiral U(3)U(3) Lagrangian is explained.
