Description

A new calculation of the isospin and hypercharge axial-vector current propagators [ΔμνA33( q2) and ΔμνA88( q2) ] to two loops in SU(3)xSU(3) chiral perturbation theory is used to derive chiral spectral function sum rules valid to second order in the light quark masses. Explicit forms are given for the three-pion isospin axial-vector spectral functions at low energy, and application of the sum rules to the determination of counterterms of the chiral Lagrangian is discussed. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
