Abstract

Chiral perturbation theory in the anomaly sector for Nf=2N_f=2 is extended to include dynamical photons, thereby allowing a complete treatment of isospin breaking. A minimal set of independent chiral lagrangian terms is determined and the divergence structure is worked out. There are contributions from irreducible and also from reducible one-loop graphs, a feature of ChPT at order larger than four. The generating functional is non-anomalous at order e2p4e^2p^4, but not necessarily at higher order in e2e^2. Practical applications to γπππ\gamma\pi\to\pi\pi and to the π02γ\pi^0\to2\gamma amplitudes are considered. In the latter case, a complete discussion of the corrections beyond current algebra is presented including quark mass as well as electromagnetic effects.
