Summary, in English

We properly define off-shell K → π transition amplitudes and use them to extract information for on-shell K → ππ amplitudes within Chiral Perturbation Theory. At order p2 in the chiral expansion all three parameters of weak interaction can be determined. At order p4 we are able to fix eleven additional constants out of thirteen contributing to off-shell K → π transitions, which leaves four undetermined constants in the on-shell K → ππ amplitudes. All script O sign(p4) contributions have been exactly derived with m2 π ≠ 0. We finally discuss the weak mass term issue and find contributions to on-shell ΔS = ±1 kaon decays, in particular to transitions like KL → γγ, KL → μ+μ- and KS → π0γγ at the lowest non-zero order.
