Abstract
K→ππ, KL-KS mass difference (Δ mK) and KL→γγ(*) are studied systematically by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and nonfactorizable ones. The former is calculated by using the naive factorization while the latter is assumed to be controlled by hadron dynamics. Nonfactorizable amplitudes for the K→ππ decays which are estimated by using a hard pion technique dominates the |ΔI| = ½ amplitude. It is seen that the naively factorized short distance term dominates ΔmK as usual since contributions of pseudoscalar-meson poles and ππ intermediate states as the nonfactorizable long distance effects interfere destructively with each other. The K*-meson pole survives in the KL→γγ decay and plays an important role in the present perspective in contrast with the existing theories which are restricted by the theory of field algebra. The form factor for the Dalitz decays of KL and their rates are compared with the existing data.
