Chiral Symmetry Aspects of the Scalars
  Electromagnetic decays of the scalar mesons are shown to be constrained by chiral symmetry as a consequence of the fact that, in the chiral limit, the two and three-point functions $<SS-PP>$ and $<VVS>$ satisfy super-convergent dispersion relations. The QCD asymptotic behavior of the latter is canonical and it can be saturated by a finite number of resonances. The corresponding chiral lagrangian for vector and scalar resonances is constructed. Matching to the correct asymptotic structure generates non-minimal terms which have so far been ignored. It is found that the width $a_0(980)\to2\gamma$ can be naturally reproduced suggesting that the $a_0(980)$ is not an exotic particle.
