Abstract: (Elsevier)
In a previous paper, we have shown how to systematically determine the low-energy structure of the Green functions in QCD. The present article extends this framework to expansions in the mass of the strange quark. We construct the generating functional of U(3)×U(3) which allows us to calculate the Green functions up to and including terms of order p 4 (at fixed radio m quark p 2 ) in terms of a few coupling constants which chiral symmetry leaves undetermined. We calculate the first non-leading term in the quark mass expansion of the order parameters 〈0| u u|0〉, 〈0| d d|0〉, 〈0| s s|0〉 , and of the masses and decay constants in the pseudoscalar octet. The three coupling constants which are not fixed by experimental low-energy information are estimated by invoking large- N c arguments.- QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS
