Model-Independent Confirmation of the $\sigma$-Meson below 1 GeV and   Indication for the $f_0(1500)$ Glueball
  In the model-independent approach consisting in the immediate application to the analysis of experimental data of such general principles as analyticity and unitarity, a confirmation of the $\sigma$-meson at $\sim$ 665 MeV and an indication for the glueball nature of the $f_0(1500)$ state are obtained on the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV where the 2-channel unitarity is valid). A parameterless description of the $\pi\pi$ background is first given by allowance for the left-hand branch-point in the proper uniformizing variable. It is shown that the large $\pi\pi$-background, usually obtained, combines, in reality, the influence of the left-hand branch-point and the contribution of a very wide resonance at $\sim$ 665 MeV. The coupling constants of the observed states with the $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ systems and lengths of the $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ scattering are obtained.
