The isospin-breaking decay eta {\to} 3pi is an ideal tool to extract information on light quark mass ratios from experiment. For a precise determination, however, a detailed description of the Dalitz plot distribution is necessary. In that…
An overview is given of Chiral Perturbation Theory and various applications to eta decays. In particular, the main decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is discussed at the one-loop level, and estimates of the higher order corrections are given. The…
We calculate the decay $\eta\to3\pi$ at next-to-next-to-leading order or order $p^6$ in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The corrections are somewhat larger than was indicated by dispersive estimates. We present numerical results for the Dalitz…
We present a dispersive analysis of the decay amplitude for $\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi$ that is based on the fundamental principles of analyticity and unitarity. In this framework, final-state interactions are fully taken into account. Our…

We study the decay $\eta'\to\eta\pi\pi$ in two different chiral invariant approaches: Large-$N_c$ Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) and Large-$N_c$ Resonance Chiral Theory (RChT). We analyze the Dalitz plot and the invariant mass spectra.…
Using extended Khuri-Treiman equations, we evaluate the final state interactions due to two-pion rescatterings to the decays $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\eta\to \pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^0$. As subtraction to the dispersion relation we take the…
The dispersive approach based only on very general principles, unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry, combined with chiral counting enables to construct fully relativistic model-independent representations of the eta and K three-pion…
The study of Dalitz plots of heavy-meson decays to multi-hadron final states has received intensified interest by the possibility to gain access to precision investigations of CP violation. A thorough understanding of the hadronic…
Theoretical efforts to describe and explain the $\eta\to 3\pi$ decays reach far back in time. Even today, the convergence of the decay widths and some of the Dalitz plot parameters seems problematic in low energy QCD. In the framework of…
The branching ratio of the \eta->3\pi decay is an important source of information on the value of the quark mass ratio 1/R=(m_d-m_u)/(m_s-\hat m). Furthermore, isospin breaking effects in the decays K->3\pi provide information on the pion…
The decays $\omega/\phi \rightarrow 3\pi$ are considered in the dispersive framework that is based on the isobar decomposition and sub-energy unitarity. The inelastic contributions are parametrized by the power series in a suitably chosen…
In recent years, the decay eta --> 3 pi has received considerable attention from experimental and theoretical side. It is of particular theoretical interest because it allows for the determination of (m_u - m_d). In addition, for many years…
The dispersive analysis of the decay $\eta\to3\pi$ is reviewed and thoroughly updated with the aim of determining the quark mass ratio ~$Q^2=(m_s^2-m_{ud}^2)/(m_d^2-m_u^2)$. With the number of subtractions we are using, the effects…
The decays $\eta'\to3\pi^{0}$ and $\pi^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ were consider in isobar model approach. Branching ratio and Dalitz-plot shape of the decay $\eta'\to3\pi^{0}$ can be explain by $a0$- and $\sigma$-meson contributions. The $\sigma$…
