Abstract
In a combined analysis of the experimental data on the coupled processes $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi,K\overline{K}$ in the channel with IGJPC=0+0++, the various scenarios of these reactions (with different numbers of resonances) are considered. In a model-independent approach, based only on analyticity and unitarity, a resonance is represented by a pole cluster (poles on the Riemann surface) of the definite type that is defined by the state nature. The best scenario contains the resonances f0(665) (with properties of the $\sigma$-meson), f0(980) (with a dominant $s{\bar s}$ component), f0(1500) (with a dominant flavour-singlet, e.g., glueball component) and the f0(1710) (with a considerable $s{\bar s}$ component). If the f0(1370) exists, it has a dominant $s{\bar s}$ component. The coupling constants of the observed states with the considered channels and the $\pi\pi$ and $K\overline{K}$ scattering lengths are obtained. The conclusion on the linear realization of chiral symmetry is drawn.
