We study the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing up to next-to-next-to-leading-order in $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory in the light of recent lattice simulations and phenomenological inputs. A general treatment for the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing at higher…
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the anomaly of the axial vector current, i.e. from nonperturbative effects and the nontrivial…
Mixing of the pseudoscalar mesons is discussed in the quark-flavor basis with the hypothesis that the basis decay constants follow the pattern of particle state mixing. The divergences of the axial vector currents which embody the axial…
