Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using the non-linear effective lagrangian technique, we show explicitly that only derivative coupling is allowed for the K - π, K → 2π and K → 3π transitions induced by the ΔS = 1 Penguin operator of SVZ in agreement with chiral symmetry requirements. From a derivative coupling (3, 3 ) mass term and the SU(3) breaking effect for ƒ K /ƒ π , we estimate the strength of the Penguin interactions and find it too small to account for the ΔI = 1 2 amplitude.
