Seminar topic: «Anomalous decays of mesons: surface terms against πa1-mixing»

Speaker: A. A. Osipov

Abstract:

The amplitudes of anomalous decays of mesons are affected by mixing between members of pseudoscalar JPC=0-+ and axial-vector 1++ nonets that violates some low-energy theorems. We show that a gauge covariant procedure to diagonalize this mixing allows for consistent description of the amplitudes. The crucial role of the surface terms associated with the quark triangle diagrams is clarified.
