Abstract
We generalize the large Di Vecchia–Veneziano-Witten (VVW) effective chiral Lagrangian to the case of finite by constructing the anomalous effective Lagrangian for QCD. The latter is similar to its supersymmetric counterpart and has a holomorphic structure. The VVW construction is then recovered, along with corrections, after integrating out the heavy “glueball” fields. A new mass formula for the meson in terms of QCD condensates is obtained. The picture of dependence in QCD for finite is more complicated than that predicted by the large approach.
