K^0 \to pi^- e^+ nu_e e^+ e^- decay is studied up to the next-to-leading order O^4 in chiral perturbation theory. It is found that the O^4 terms appreciably modifiy the shape of the invariant mass distribution of the leptons and the energy…

A sum rule analysis of the hadronic tau-decay data can be used to determine the low-energy constants L10(mu) and C87(mu). These constants are QCD chiral-order parameters, which appear at order p^4 and p^6, respectively, in the chiral…

This paper describes the calculation of the electromagnetic form factor of the K0 meson at order p^6 of chiral perturbation theory which is the next-to-leading order correction to the well-known p^4 result achieved by Gasser and Leutwyler.…

We derive all the O(p^6) Chiral Perturbation Theory low-energy constants from a class of gravity dual models of QCD described by the Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons Lagrangian terms, with the chiral symmetry broken through boundary conditions…

Chiral symmetry breaking may exhibit significantly different patterns in two chiral limits: N_f=2 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0, m_s physical) and N_f=3 massless flavours (m_u=m_d=0=m_s=0). Such a difference may arise due to vacuum…

In the presence of photons, the neutral $K_{\ell 4}$ decay, $K^0\to\pi^0\pi^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$, can be parameterized in terms of three vectorial, one anomalous, and one tensorial form factors. We present here analytic expressions of two…
