The axial anomaly is responsible for the masses and mixing of the mesons $\eta$ and $\eta'$. An open question is if (and to what extent) it affects also other hadrons. We show that anomalous terms can be important to understand the…
We determine the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle via a procedure relatively independent of theoretical assumptions by simultaneously fitting $\eta- eta'$ reactions involving the anomaly--$\eta,\eta'\to\gamma\gamma, \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We extract…
In this work the analysis of mixing parameters of the system involving eta, eta' mesons and some third massive state G is carried out. We use the generalized mixing scheme with three angles. The framework of the dispersive approach to…
The ground-state (lightest) hybrid nonet with exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ and the nonet of their chiral partners with $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ build a homochiral multiplet involving left- and right-handed currents, which under chiral…
It is well known that because of the axial anomaly in QCD, mesons with $J^P = 0^-$ are close to $SU(3)_{\mathrm{V}}$ eigenstates: the $eta^\prime(958)$ meson is largely a singlet, and the $\eta$ meson an octet. In contrast, states with $J^P…
Although eta-eta' mixing is qualitatively well understood as a consequence of the U(1)_A anomaly in QCD together with a broken SU(3) flavor symmetry, until recently the values of decay and mixing parameters of the eta and eta' were only…
A systematic study of the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing in Large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory is presented with special emphasis on the role of the next-to-next-to-leading-order contributions in the combined momentum, quark-mass, and $1/N_c$…
The $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixture is discussed in the chiral bag model to calculate the pseudoscalar octet-singlet mixing angle consistent with the experimental data. The color anomaly is taken into account with the modified boundary…
We reconcile the 1/N_c expansion with the observed eta-eta' mass spectrum. The chiral corrections introduced for that purpose are natural and consistent with the octet-singlet mixing angle theta=-(22\pm 1)^{\circ} extracted from…
Eta-eta' mixing is discussed in the quark-flavor basis with the hypothesis that the decay constants follow the pattern of particle state mixing. On exploiting the divergences of the axial vector currents - which embody the axial vector…
Correlators of singlet and octet axial currents, as well as anomaly and pseudoscalar densities have been studied using QCD sum rules. Several of these sum rules are used to determine the couplings f^8_eta, f^0_eta, f^8_etaprime and…
The octet-singlet mixing angle $\theta_P$ in the pseudoscalar meson nonet is deduced from the rich set of accurate data on $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing have been…
Topologically nontrivial fluctuations control the anomalous interactions for the $\eta$ and and $\eta \prime$ pseudoscalar mesons. We consider the anomalous interactions for mesons with higher spin, the heterochiral nonets with $J^{P C} =…
We study flavor mixing and the axial anomaly in QCD at zero and finite temperature. Using the instanton liquid model, we show that the strength of the anomaly is essentially unchanged near the critical temperature for chiral symmetry…
Masses and topological charges of the eta and eta' mesons are expressed in terms of the singlet-octet mixing angle theta. Contributions of the pseudoscalar 0- continuum are evaluated in a model independant way. Applications to the decay eta…
We study the impact of axial-anomaly effects on the chiral phase structure in a $U(3)$-extended soft-wall holographic QCD model. Including the pseudoscalar singlet sector allows for a dynamical description of the $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ system…
The $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ mixing mass term due to the derivative coupling $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ symmetry breaking term, produces an additional momentum-dependent pole term for processes with $\eta^{\prime}$, but is suppressed in the $\eta$…
We investigate what can be learnt about the $\eta$ -$\eta'$ mixing by means of dispersive representation of axial anomaly. We show that our method leads to the strong bounds for the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle: $\theta = -15.3^o \pm 1^o$.…
We study the decays of the pseudotensor mesons $[ \pi_{2}(1670) , K_{2}(1770) , \eta_{2}(1645) , \eta_{2}(1870) ]$ interpreted as the ground-state nonet of $1^1 D_{2}$ $\bar{q}q$ states using interaction Lagrangians which couple them to…
We propose a new eta-eta' mixing scheme where we start from the quark flavor basis and assume that the decay constants in that basis follow the pattern of particle state mixing. On exploiting the divergences of the axial vector currents -…
