Abstract

Following recent attempts to explore possible connections between current algebra, dispersion relations, and Regge pole theory, we consider ρπ and A1π scattering amplitudes, and calculate them both from the hard-pion current algebra for four-point functions and dispersion relations with saturation by single-particle intermediate states. The two are found to lead to mutually consistent results provided we introduce a subtraction in certain amplitudes. However, from Regge pole theory, many of these are found to require no subtractions. Thus, whereas the current algebra and the pole-dominated dispersion relations understandably give similar results, the Regge pole theory appears to give distinctly different results.
