Abstract

We estimate nonfactorizable 1 N_c contributions in the K→2π amplitudes using the approach proposed in our previous work. It is demonstrated that for the conventional (nonpenguin) operators these contributions are close in magnitude to factorizable 1 N_c parts and have the opposite sign. Thus, an approximate rule of discarding 1 N_c corrections in K→2πdecays is theoretically confirmed. As a result we find an extra suppression of the matrix element of 0₄ (δI = 3 2) and an extra enhancment of the matrix element of O₁ (δI = 1 2). The parameter B describing K⁰-K⁰ mixing is also discussed.
