Non-factorization of four-quark condensates at low energies within Chiral Perturbation Theory

Abstract

Four-quark correlators and the factorization hypothesis are analyzed in the meson sector within Chiral Perturbation Theory. Factorization of the four-quark condensate holds to leading and next to leading order. However at next to next to leading order, a term with a nontrivial space-time dependence in the four-quark correlator yields a divergent four-quark condensate, whereas the two-quark condensate and the scalar susceptibility are finite. Such a non-factorization term vanishes only in the chiral limit. We also comment on how factorization still holds in the large $N_c$ limit, provided such a limit is taken before renormalization.
