Abstract
We study lepton-flavor-violating two- and three-body decays of pseudoscalar mesons in effective field theory. We give analytic formulas for the decay rates in the presence of a complete basis of QED×QCD-invariant operators. The constraints are obtained at the experimental scale, then translated to the weak scale via one-loop renormalization group equations. The large renormalization-group mixing between tensor and (pseudo)scalar operators weakens the constraints on scalar and pseudoscalar operators at the weak scale.
