Abstract

We calculate the vacuum-expectation-value, the meson mass and the meson decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading-order in the chiral expansion for QCD-like theories with general NFN_F degenerate flavours for the cases with a complex representation, a real and a pseudoreal representation, i.e. with global symmetry and breaking patters SU(NF)L×SU(NF)RSU(NF)VSU(N_F)_L\times SU(N_F)_R\to SU(N_F)_V, SU(2NF)SO(2N)SU(2N_F)\to SO(2N) and SU(2NF)Sp(2NF)SU(2N_F)\to Sp(2N_F). These calculations should be useful for lattice calculations for dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and related cases.
