Using an SU(3)(L) circle times SU(3)(R) decomposition of the operators, we derive generic relations between these matrix elements, extending well-known results that link observables in the two different sectors. Two relevant phenomenological applications are presented. First, we determine the electroweak-penguin contribution to the kaon CP-violating ratio epsilon {\textquoteright}/epsilon, using the measured hadronic spectral functions in tau decay. Second, we fit our SU(3) dynamical parameters to the most recent lattice data on K -> pi pi matrix elements. The comparison of this numerical fit with results from previous analytical approaches provides an interesting anatomy of the Delta I = 1/2 enhancement, confirming old suggestions about its underlying dynamical origin.", optnote="WOS:000762295200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5148), last updated on Sun, 13 Mar 2022 18:16:45 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP06(2021)005", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.09308", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP06(2021)005", language="English" }
