The measurements of $V_{us}$ in leptonic $(K_{mu 2})$ and semileptonic $(K_{l3})$ kaon decays exhibit a $3sigma$ disagreement, which could originate either from physics beyond the Standard Model or some large unidentified Standard Model systematic effects. Clarifying this issue requires a careful examination of all existing Standard Model inputs. Making use of a newly-proposed computational framework and the most recent lattice QCD results, we perform a comprehensive re-analysis of the electroweak radiative corrections to the $K_{e3}$ decay rates that achieves an unprecedented level of precision of $10^{-4}$, which improves the current best results by almost an order of magnitude. No large systematic effects are found, which suggests that the electroweak radiative corrections should be removed from the ``list of culprits responsible for the $K_{mu 2}$--$K_{l3}$ discrepancy.

We report a high-precision calculation of the Standard Model electroweak radiative corrections in the $Kto pi e^+ u(gamma)$ decay as a part of the combined theory effort to understand the existing anomaly in the determinations of $V_{us}$. Our new an alysis features a chiral resummation of the large infrared-singular terms in the radiative corrections and a well-under-control strong interaction uncertainty based on the most recent lattice QCD inputs. While being consistent with the current state-of-the-art results obtained from chiral perturbation theory, we reduce the existing theory uncertainty from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$. Our result suggests that the Standard Model electroweak effects cannot account for the $V_{us}$ anomaly.
We propose a new theory framework to study the electroweak radiative corrections in $K_{l3}$ decays by combining the classic current algebra approach with the modern effective field theory. Under this framework, the most important $mathcal{O}(G_Falph a)$ radiative corrections are described by a single tensor $T^{mu u}$ involving the time-ordered product between the charged weak current and the electromagnetic current, and all remaining pieces are calculable order-by-order in Chiral Perturbation Theory. We further point out a special advantage in the $K_{l3}^{0}$ channel that it suffers the least impact from the poorly-constrained low-energy constants. This finding may serve as a basis for a more precise extraction of the matrix element $V_{us}$ in the future.
We calculate the model-independent radiative corrections to the Dalitz plot of K_{l3}^pm decays to order (alpha/pi)(q/M_1), where q is the momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the kaon. The final results are presented, first, with the triple inte gration over the variables of the bremsstrahlung photon ready to be performed numerically and, second, in an analytical form. These two forms are useful to crosscheck on one another and with other calculations. This paper is organized to make it accessible and reliable in the analysis of the Dalitz plot of precision experiments and is not compromised to fixing the form factors at predetermined values. It is assumed that the real photons are kinematically discriminated. Otherwise, our results have a general model-independent applicability.
A model-independent expression for the Dalitz plot of semileptonic decays of neutral kaons, K_{l3}^0, including radiative corrections to order (alpha/pi)(q/M_1), where q is the momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the kaon, is presented. The mode l dependence of radiative corrections is kept in a general form within this approximation, which is suitable for model-independent experimental analyses. Expressions for bremsstrahlung radiative corrections are presented in two forms: one with the triple integral over the kinematical variables of the photon ready to be performed numerically and the other one in a fully analytical form. The final result is restricted to the so-called three-body region of the Dalitz plot and it is not compromised to fixing the values of the form factors at predetermined values.
The final state interaction of pions in the decay $K^pmto pi^+pi^-e^pm u$ allows to obtain the value of the isospin and angular momentum zero pion-pion scattering length $a_0^0$. To extract this quantity from experimental data the radiative correctio ns (RC) have to be taken into account. Basing on the lowest order results and the factorization hypothesis, we get the expressions for RC in the leading and next-to leading logarithmical approximation. It is shown that the decay width dependence on the lepton mass $m_e$ through the parameter $sigma=frac{alpha}{2pi}br{lnfrac{M^2}{m_e^2}-1}$ has a standard form of the Drell-Yan process and is proportional to the Sommerfeld-Sakharov factor. The numerical estimations are presented.
