Abstract
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) and quark-hadron duality for two-and three-point correlators of the axial (A) and pseudoscalar (P) currents of the light quarks. In the chiral limit, these correlators are often dominated by nonperturbative power corrections leading to subtleties of quark-hadron duality relations and of the extraction of properties of light pseudoscalars. For the two-point correlators, we show the sum rule for 〈PP〉 to be sensitive to the excited light pseudoscalar. For the three-point correlators, we derive the Ward identities which provide the normalization of the pion electromagnetic form factor at zero momentum transfer. For large momentum transfer, we demonstrate the way the correct behavior of the pion form factor in agreement with perturbative QCD emerges from condensate terms in the OPE for the 〈PV P〉 and 〈AV P〉 correlators. The local-duality sum rule for 〈AV A〉 is shown to lead to the pion form factor with the required properties for all values of the momentum transfer.
