Due to its light mass of order Lambda_QCD, the strange quark can play a special role in Chiral Symmetry Breaking (ChSB): differences in the pattern of ChSB in the limits N_f=2 (m_u,m_d->0, m_s physical) and N_f=3 (m_u,m_d,m_s->0) may arise…

Using the method of asymptotic sum rules we estimated the size of $O(m_s p_\pi^4)$ and $O(m_s^2 p_\pi^2)$ corrections to $\pi K$ scattering amplitude in large $N_c$ limit. These corrections arise from the sixth order effective chiral…
