We re-evaluate the electromagnetic corrections to eta --> 3 pi decays at next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion, arguing that effects of order e^2(m_u-m_d) disregarded so far are not negligible compared to other contributions of order e^2 times a light quark mass. Despite the appearance of the Coulomb pole in eta --> pi+ pi- pi0 and cusps in eta --> 3 pi0, the overall corrections remain small.

Hidden-sectors search and probe of discrete symmetries at the REDTOP experiment
REDTOP targets O(10^14) eta and O(10^12) eta-prime decays to probe four hidden sector portals and test CP/T invariance plus lepton universality.
