One-loop quark contributions to the dimension-four gluon condensate term inthe operator product expansion (OPE) of the scalar glueball correlationfunction are calculated in the MS-bar scheme in the chiral limit of $n_f$ quarkflavours. The presence of quark effects is shown not to alter the cancellationof infrared (IR) singularities in the gluon condensate OPE coefficients. Thedimension-four gluonic condensate term represents the leading power correctionsto the scalar glueball correlator and, therein, the one-loop logarithmiccontributions provide the most important condensate contribution to those QCDsum-rules independent of the low-energy theorem (the subtracted sum-rules).Comment: latex2e, 6 pages, 7 figures embedded in latex fil
