Computation of thep6order low-energy constants with tensor sources

Abstract

We present the results of calculations of the $p^4$ and $p^6$ order low-energy constants for the chiral Lagrangian with tensor sources for both two and three flavors of pseudoscalar mesons. This is a generalization of our previous work on similar calculations without tensor sources in terms of the quark self-energy $\Sigma(p^2)$, based on the first principle derivation of the low-energy effective Lagrangian and computation of the low-energy constants with some rough approximations. With the help of partial integration and some epsilon relations, we find that some $p^6$ order operators with tensor sources appearing in the literature are related to each other. That leaves 98 independent terms for $n$-flavor, 92 terms for three-flavor, and 65 terms for two-flavor cases. We also find that the odd-intrinsic-parity chiral Lagrangian with tensor sources cannot independently exist in any order of low-energy expansion.
