Abstract: (Elsevier)
We consider a nonlocal generalization of the nonlinear σ model. Our chirally symmetric model couples quarks with self-energy ∑( p 0 to Goldstone bosons (GBs). By integrating out the quarks we obtain a chiral lagrangian, the parameters of which are finite integrals of ∑( p ). We find that chiral symmetry is not sufficient to derive the well-known Pagels-Stokar formula for the GB decay constant. We reproduce the Wess-Zumino term and we illustrate the dependence of other four derivative coefficients on ∑( p ).
