Exact equations for the quark propagator and Lagrangian are derived which contain contributions of all quark modes with known coefficients. The resulting effective Lagrangian resembles that of the Nambu--Jona--Lasinio model. The commonly used zero--mode approximation is shown to be invalid in the chiral limit.5 pages, no figuresHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
