description

We present a calculation of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude for $\gamma^\ast+\pi\to \gamma+\pi$ in the framework of chiral perturbation theory at ${\cal O}(p^4)$. We explicitly derive expressions for generalized electromagnetic polarizabilities and discuss alternative definitions of these quantities.
