Using a recently proposed gauge covariant diagonalization of $pi a_1$-mixing we show that the low energy theorem $F^{pi}=e f_pi^2 F^{3pi}$ of current algebra, relating the anomalous form factor $F_{gamma to pi^+pi^0pi^-} = F^{3pi}$ and the anomalous neutral pion form factor $F_{pi^0 to gammagamma}=F^pi$, is fulfilled in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, solving a long standing problem encountered in the extension including vector and axial-vector mesons. At the heart of the solution is the presence of a $gamma pi {bar q} q $ vertex which is absent in the conventional treatment of diagonalization and leads to a deviation from the vector meson dominance (VMD) picture. It contributes to a gauge invariant anomalous tri-axial (AAA) vertex as a pure surface term.

We reconsider the contribution due to $pi a_1$-mixing to the anomalous $gammatopi^+pi^0pi^-$ amplitude from the standpoint of the low-energy theorem $F^{pi}=e f_pi^2 F^{3pi}$, which relates the electromagnetic form factor $F_{pi^0togammagamma}=F^pi$ with the form factor $F_{gammatopi^+pi^0pi^-}=F^{3pi}$ both taken at vanishing momenta of mesons. Our approach is based on a recently proposed covariant diagonalization of $pi a_1$-mixing within a standard effective QCD-inspired meson Lagrangian obtained in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We show that the two surface terms appearing in the calculation of the anomalous triangle quark diagrams or AVV- and AAA-type amplitudes are uniquely fixed by this theorem. As a result, both form factors $F^pi$ and $F^{3pi}$ are not affected by the $pi a_1$-mixing, but the concept of vector meson dominance (VMD) fails for $gammatopi^+pi^0pi^-$.
It is found that in presence of electroweak interactions the gauge covariant diagonalization of the axial-vector -- pseudoscalar mixing in the effective meson Lagrangian leads to a deviation from the vector meson and the axial-vector meson dominance of the entire hadronic electroweak current. The essential features of such a modification of the theory are investigated in the framework of the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with explicit breaking of chiral $U(2) times U(2)$ symmetry. The Schwinger-DeWitt method is used as a major tool in our study of the real part of the relevant effective action. Some straightforward applications are considered.
We show that the a_1-rho-pi Lagrangian is a decisive element for obtaining a good phenomenological description of the three-pion decays of the tau lepton. We choose it in a two-component form with a flexible mixing parameter sin(theta). In addition to the dominant a_1-> pho pi intermediate states, the a_1->pi sigma ones are included. When fitting the three-pion mass spectra, three data sets are explored: (1) ALEPH 2005 pi-pi-pi+ data, (2) ALEPH 2005 pi-pi0pi0 data, and (3) previous two sets combined and supplemented with the ARGUS 1993, OPAL 1997, and CLEO 2000 data. The corresponding confidence levels are (1) 28.3%, (2) 100%, and (3) 7.7%. After the inclusion of the a_1(1640) resonance, the agreement of the model with data greatly improves and the confidence level reaches 100% for each of the three data sets. From the fit to all five experiments [data set (3)] the following parameters of the a_1(1260) are obtained m_{a_1}=(1233+/-18) MeV, Gamma_{a_1}=(431+/-20) MeV. The optimal value of the Lagrangian mixing parameter sin(theta)= 0.459+/-0.004 agrees with the value obtained recently from the e+e- annihilation into four pions.
We evaluate the $a_1(1260) to pi sigma (f_0(500))$ decay width from the perspective that the $a_1(1260)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the pseudoscalar-vector interaction and the $sigma$ arises from the pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar interaction. A triangle mechanism with $a_1(1260) to rho pi$ followed by $rho to pi pi$ and a fusion of two pions within the loop to produce the $sigma$ provides the mechanism for this decay under these assumptions for the nature of the two resonances. We obtain widths of the order of $13-22$ MeV. Present experimental results differ substantially from each other, suggesting that extra efforts should be devoted to the precise extraction of this important partial decay width, which should provide valuable information on the nature of the axial vector and scalar meson resonances and help clarify the role of the $pisigma$ channel in recent lattice QCD calculations of the $a_1$.
We show that there exist uncanceled soft divergences in the k_T factorization for nonfactorizable amplitudes of two-body nonleptonic B meson decays, similar to those identified in hadron hadroproduction. These divergences can be grouped into a soft factor using the eikonal approximation, which is then treated as an additional nonperturbative input in the perturbative QCD formalism. Viewing the special role of the pion as a q-qbar bound state and as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson, we postulate that the soft effect associated with it is significant. This soft factor enhances the nonfactorizable color-suppressed tree amplitudes, such that the branching ratios B(pi^0 pi^0) and B(pi^0 rho^0) are increased under the constraint of the B(rho^0 rho^0) data, the difference between the direct CP asymmetries A_{CP}(pi^mp K^pm) and A_{CP}(pi^0 K^pm) is enlarged, and the mixing-induced CP asymmetry S_{pi^0 K_S} is reduced. Namely, the known pi pi and pi K puzzles can be resolved simultaneously.
