Virtual photons in chiral perturbation theory * Res Urech 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Bern, Sidlerstr. 5, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland Received 24 May 1994; accepted 11 August 1994
Abstract
In the framework of chiral perturbation theory virtual photons are included. We calculate the divergences of the generating functional to one loop and determine the structure of the local action that incorporates the counterterms which cancel the divergences. As an application we discuss the corrections to Dashen's theorem at o r d e r eemq.
1. Introduction In the chiral limit where the light up, down and strange quark masses go to zero, the Q C D lagrangian has a SU(3) R × SU(3) L chiral symmetry that is spontaneously broken by the ground state of the theory. T h e r e are eight Goldstone bosons: the 7r's, K's and r/. Their interactions are described by an effective low energy theory, called chiral perturbation theory (CHPT). At low m o m e n t a the chiral lagrangian can be expanded in derivatives of the Goldstone fields and in the masses of the three light quarks. C H P T is a nonrenormalizable theory: Loops produce ultraviolet divergences, which can be absorbed by introducing counterterms. The finite parts of the coupling constants of this counterterm lagrangian are not determined by the lagrangian that generated the loops. The complete information about them is hidden in the Q C D lagrangian, but there is no known way to extract this information from first principle alone. The couplings have to be evaluated from experiments. As shown by Weinberg [1], the loops are suppressed: Every loop and

the associated counterterm correspond to successively higher powers of momenta or quark masses. At low energies, the contributions from higher loops are small. C H P T is an effective theory: It contains all terms allowed by the symmetry of the QCD lagrangian in the chiral limit. The local action is generated by the effective lagrangian, which is in general not determined by the counterterms alone at higher orders in the expansion of momenta and quark masses. Additional terms with finite couplings have to be included. The generating functional to one loop and the corresponding local action in the strong sector has been determined by Gasser and Leutwyler [2]. An extension to the AS = 1 nonleptonic weak interactions to one loop has been given by Kambor, Missimer and Wyler [3]. Here we consider virtual photons and include them in the mesonic sector. We calculate the divergences of the one-loop functional in the presence of external currents and determine the structure of the local action at this order. The article is organized as follows. In Section 2 virtual photons are included in C H P T with three flavours. We evaluate the divergences of the generating functional to one loop and determine the structure of the local action at order p4. In Section 3 we discuss the corrections to Dashen's theorem at order eZmq and compare our estimates with the results in the literature. In Section 4 we summarize our results, and in Appendix A the matrix relations are given that are used to simplify the effective lagrangian at order p4. Finally, in Appendix B we list the renormalized masses of the pseudoscalar mesons at order e2mq.
2. Generating functional We suppose that the reader is familiar with CHPT, otherwise we refer her or him to comprehensive reviews [4]. At leading order, the effective lagrangian of the strong and electromagnetic interactions which respects the chiral symmetry SU(3)R × SU(3)c, P and C invariance is in the mesonic sector [5] =

gR,L ~ SU(3)R,L" Since the currents v~ and G, count as O(p), where p means the momentum of the external fields, the term QA~, has the same dimension. We put dim(QR,L) = O ( p ) ,
dim(A~) = O(1),
(12)
the lagrangian ..~2(Q) is therefore of order p2. The convention (12) has the advantage that electromagnetic interactions do not turn upside down the usual chiral counting. The procedure to obtain the generating functional at order O(p 4) is very similar to conventional CHPT. The one-loop graphs generated by .Z~2(Q) are of order O(p4). They contain divergences which are absorbed by adding tree graphs, evaluated with the lagrangian .9'4(Q) of order O(p4), see below. The generating functional becomes, up to and including terms of order O(p4),
exp[i.U(G,a~,,s,p)]=Nf[dU][dA,]exp(ifd4x(..9'(2°'+.~4(°))),
(13)
where the integration over the fields is carried out in the one-loop approximation. (Here and below we disregard contributions from the anomaly altogether.) To evaluate the divergent part of the one-loop functional, we transform the lagrangian 2 2 (°) (9) to euclidean spacetime, £~c~2(0)~.2"(Eo), and expand the fields U and A . around the classical solutions (U, A . ) of the equations of motion,

The divergences in -~one loop can be absorbed by adding the effective lagrangian .~4(Q) that contains all terms of order O(p 4) allowed by the chiral symmetry, P and C invariance. Since in the usual physical picture the charge matrix is a constant and has no chirality, we put again Q R = Q L = Q and OaQ=O. We keep the notation cR'LQ = -i[G R'L, Q] in order to remember the correct chiral transformation of c~Q I. By using the matrix relations that we list in Appendix A, the lagrangian .£~4(Q) can be simplified to

3. Corrections to Dashen's theorem
This chapter is separated in four subsections. In the first subsection we calculate the formal expression for the corrections to Dashen's theorem at order e2mq, i.e. the squared mass difference ( M ~ ± - m ~ 0 ) - ( M 2 ± 2 In the second subsecMe0). tion a numerical estimate is given with an u p p e r limit on the unknown terms. In the third subsection we give an independent approach on the basis of Ref. [7]. Finally, we compare in the fourth subsection the obtained values with the results in the literature.
3.1. Masses at order e2mq In the chiral limit, the masses of the pions and the kaons are of purely electromagnetic nature. A relation between the squared masses at order e 2 is given by Dashen's theorem [8],
( M2± - M :2 ° ) . . . . m- ( M 2 ± - M K 2 ° ) e . m . '

doscalar mesons are denoted by ~ 2 . We neglect the mass difference m a - m u and replace m u, m a by rh = 5(m 1 u + md). If we expand the lagrangian ~ 2 (Q) in the parametrization (2) and use the representation (3) of the physical fields, the squared masses are C M,,_+ ^ 2 = 2e 2 ~ 02 + 2rhB0, ]1,)2o= ~ 2 = 2rhBo, C /~2± = 2e2 _70 2 + (rh + ms)Bo,
(40)
34~,, = M~ = ( rh + ms) B0,
= 2 ( a + 2ms)B0. This decomposition depends on the convention adopted for the quark self-energies. The effect of this ambiguity is small and neglected in this article. The correction to Dashen's theorem at order is denoted by
e2mq 2 AM2-AMZ=(MZ±-MZo)-(M2±-M~o),
for m u = m d = f f / .
(41)
We calculate the Fourier transform of the two-point function of the mesons to one loop, keeping the fields associated with the Gell-Mann matrices ~a instead of the physical ones. For the charged fields it has a cut at p 2 = M d,

At the end we need L} and seven coupling constants K/r from .9~4{°) to determine the correction to Dashen's theorem at order e2mq. 3.2. Numerical results We put F 0 equal to the physical pion decay constant, F~ = 93.3 MeV and the masses of the mesons to a/l= = 135 MeV, MK = 495 MeV. C can be expressed as an integral over the difference of the vector and axial vector spectral functions as established by Das, Guralnik, Mathur, Low and Young [9]. If we consider the low-lying vector and axial vector mesons p and a~, respectively, and use the Weinberg sum rules [10] to eliminate the parameters of the al, we arrive at [11] 3

(47)
where Mp is the mass of the p-meson, Mp = 770 MeV, and Fp denotes the p decay constant, Fp = 154 MeV [5]. Therefore C = 61.1 x 10 -6 ( G e V ) 4.
(48)
At tree level, the difference of the squared pion masses is k 3 1 2 = ( h 4 + + h4~rO)(~t~r±-- M~0)= 2M~ × 4.8 MeV,
(49)
which is very close to the experimental value, (M,~ ±-M~.o)exp. = 4.6 MeV [12]. The spectral functions can also be extracted from data of the r-decay [13]. However, this method contains uncertainties because the spectral functions can only be evaluated for momenta p2 ~< 2 (GeV) 2 and therefore we keep our approach above. L~(/z) is taken from Table 1 of Ref. [5]. Its values at the scale points I* = (0.5 GeV; Mo; 1 GeV) are L~(/,) = (2.4; 1.4; 0.8) _+ 0.5 × 10 -3.
(50)
These values lead to the following result for the squared mass differences, using again the three scales/z = (0.5 GeV; Mp; 1 GeV): A M 2 - A M 2 = ( - 0 . 2 6 ; 0.52; 0.99) _+ 0.13 × 1 0 - 3 ( G e V ) 2 + R , M 2 + R K M 2.
(51)
There is a strong dependence on the scale ~ for all the terms. Of course, this scale-dependence cancels in the full expression. Next we calculate the ratio aM~/aM~.For this purpose we put AM 2 = (M~± and arrive at
-M~0)exp.

(53) The values of L](/~) are at the three scalepoints t~ = (0.5 GeV; Mp; 1 GeV), L~(p~) = ( 0 . 1 ; - 0 . 3 ; - 0.5) _+ 0.5 × 10 -3.
(54)
We put AM 2 equal to the observed value and K~(/z) becomes K~(/x) = - ( 1 . 0 ; 4.0; 5.6) + 1.7 × 10 -3 .
(55)
K~ is of the same order as the coefficients L~ [2] and as it was expected by the so-called naive chiral power counting [14]. Note that K~(/x) does not have the usual scale-dependence implied by (37), because we have dropped scale-dependent terms in (53). Now we assume that the K[ which contribute to R~ and R K have the upper limit 1

]R,.M 2 + RK M2 ] AM~ ~ 2.1.
(58)
On the basis of (56), large corrections to Dashen's theorem can therefore not be excluded.
3.3. Independent approach We give a further estimate by looking at the QCD mass difference of the kaon. In this calculation we put m a - m , 4= 0, but neglect corrections of order e2(md -mu). The observed squared mass difference of the kaon can be divided into two parts, (M~+ - MK2O)ex,. = (M2+ - MK2,,)OC.D + (M~+ - mK2o)e.m:
(59)

The same is true for the pions, but the QCD term is of O[(m d --mu)2], which is very small, numerically (M=±-M~0)Qc D = 0.17 MeV [2]. We put therefore 2 2 (M2± - M~o)~xp . _- (M~± - MZ0)e.m..
(60)
The electromagnetic part of the squared mass difference using the notation of (41) becomes
A M 2 - AMZ= ( A M Z - AMZ)exp.-(AMZ)QcD + O(eZm2).
(61)
The experimental part is ( A M ~ - AM2)e×p = - 5 . 2 5 × 10 -3 (GeV)2112!. We refer to Leutwyler [7] for the calculation of (AM~)oc D without using Dashen s theorem, (AMK2)QCD = - ( M 2 - M 2 " ~ m~a-m--u [1 + A M + O ( m 2 ) ] •'1 m s _ r h
(62)
R = (m s - r h ) / ( m d - m u) is the ratio determined from the mass splittings in the baryon octet and from p-w mixing [11] with the value R = 43.7 + 2.7. One way to obtain the correction A M is an estimate of ~--q' mixing. The phenomenological information [2,15] indicates that the mixing angle is somewhere between 20 ° and 25 °. The range [0,,, [ = 22 ° _+ 4 ° corresponds to a value of A M = 0.0 + 0.12. Inserting these uncertainties into the equation above, the QCD squared mass difference of the kaon becomes (AM~)QC D = - (5.19 _+ 1.01) x 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2,
(63)
and the electromagnetic part of the squared mass difference is therefore (we neglect the errors in the experimental values)
A M 2 - A M 2 = - ( 0 . 0 6 _+ 1.01) × 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2
(64)
with a large uncertainty for a small value. Similarly the mass ratio A M Z / A M ~ is
~M~
- 0.95 _+ 0.81.
(65)
3. 4. Comparison with other results Maltman and Kotchan [16] used the effective lagrangian .~2(Q) and calculated the one-loop contributions to the squared mass differences AM~2 K" They considered terms proportional to e 2 M~2 ln(M2//z 2) and e2M 2 ln(M2/)~ 2) at the scale point /z = 1.1 GeV. The scale-independent terms e 2 M~2 and eZMZK as well as the contributions from the effective lagrangian of order p4 were neglected. Their result is
( A M 2 -AM~)log 2 = 0.76 × 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2,
(66)
R. Urech / Nuclear Physics B433 (1995) 234-254
248
which agrees with the contribution from the logarithms in our calculation at /z = 1.1 GeV, ( A M 2 - AM~)log = 0.77 X 10 -3 (GeV) 2.
(67)
The authors expect that the ratio A M K2/ A M ~2 is in the range (at this scale point) AM~ - 1.44 + 0.20.
(68)
Using again AM 2 = (AM2)exp, this corresponds to A M 2 - AMZ~ = (0.55 + 0.25) × 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2.
(69)
Recently two other estimates have been made by Donoghue, Holstein and Wyler [17] and Bijnens [18]. The first work is based on chiral symmetry and vector meson dominance. Their result shows a total ratio which is rather large, AM 2
aM¢
= 1.8.
(70)
The value for AM~z they obtain at this order is about 20% higher than the experimental value, M~Z± - M~0 = 2M,~ × 5.6 MeV.
(71)
Inserting (71) into the ratio above (70), the electromagnetic part of the squared mass difference becomes A M 2 - A M ~ = 1.23 X 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2.
(72)
This result is in good correspondence with the one obtained by Bijnens [18], A M 2 - AM~ = (1.3 + 0.4) × 10 -3 ( G e V ) 2,
(73)
who calculated this value by splitting the contributions to the masses into two parts. A long distance part is estimated using the (1/Nc)-approach and a short distance contribution is determined in terms of the coupling constants L~ of the lagrangian .Z~4~a~. The results we listed in this section show rather large corrections to Dashen's theorem. They coincide only partly with the result we obtained in (64), but they could be in agreement with the estimate on the basis of (56). In order to establish them, we would have to numerically evaluate the relevant coefficients K r of ~4(Q).
4. Summary
1. We have evaluated the divergent part of the generating functional of C H P T including virtual photons to one loop. We have calculated the structure of the local action at order p4 with 29 coupling constants ( L 1. . . . . L10; H1, Ha; K a. . . . . K17), which have in general a single pole in d = 4 dimensions.

2. In a next step we have calculated the one-loop contribution to the meson masses in the isospin limit m u = m d = rh and extracted the correction to Dashen's theorem [8],

(75)
At the three scalepoints /x = (0.5; 0.77; 1) GeV, we got numerically
AM 2 - AM 2 = ( - 0 . 2 6 ; 0.49; 0.99) + 0.13 × 10 -3 (GeV) 2 + R~M2~ + RK M2. We assumed the upper limit of R~,M~2+ RKMK2 to be [R~M 2 +RKM 2 [ < 2.6 × 10 -3 (GeV) 2,
(76)
(77)
from which we cannot exclude large corrections to Dashen's theorem. Note that in the numerical part in (76) the correction due to L~(/x) is already included. 3. In addition, we have given an estimate of AM~ - AM 2 on the basis of Ref. [7],
A M ~ - AM~ = - ( 0 . 0 6 _+ 1.01) × 10

(78)
a small number with a large uncertainty. 4.. We have compared our values to the results in the literature [16-18]. We found that they coincide only partly with the result (78), but they could be well in agreement with the estimate in (76). In order to complete the expression for AMZK AM 2 we need the numerical evaluation of R~, K, i.e. the calculation of the finite parts of the coupling c o n s t a n t s K i. This is beyond the scope of this work. -
