Current algebra derivation of temperature dependence of hadron couplings with currents

Abstract

The vector and the axial-vector meson couplings with the vector and the axial-vector currents respectively at finite temperature have been obtained in Ref. \cite{Mallik} by calculating all the relevant one-loop Feynman graphs with vertices obtained from the effective chiral Lagrangian. On the other hand, the same couplings were also derived in Ref.\cite{Ioffe1} by applying the method of current algebra and the hypothesis of partial conservation of axial-vector current (PCAC). The latter method appears to miss certain terms; in the case of the vector meson coupling with the vector current, for example, a term containing the $ρωπ$ coupling is missed. A similar situation would also appear for the nucleon coupling with the nucleon current. In this note we resolve these differences.
