We study the scaling with the number of colors $N_c$ of the weak amplitudes mediating kaon mixing and decay, in the limit of light charm masses ($m_u=m_d=m_s=m_c$). The amplitudes are extracted directly on the lattice for $N_c = 3-7$ (with…
The instanton induced interaction leads to a significant enhancement of the $A_0$ weak amplitude determining the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule, through the contribution of operators with dimension d=9, as we show in the weak $K\to \pi\pi$ decay.
