Pseudoscalar decay constants at large N_c

Abstract

In the large N_c limit, the variables required to analyze the low energy structure of QCD in the framework of an effective field theory necessarily include the degrees of freedom of the eta'. We evaluate the decay constants of the pseudoscalar nonet to one loop within this extended framework and show that, as a consequence of the anomalous dimension of the singlet axial current, some of the effective coupling constants depend on the running scale of QCD. The calculation relies on a simultaneous expansion in powers of momenta, quark masses and 1/N_c.
