Abstract: (Elsevier)
It is pointed out that a tensor four fermion interaction ( u R σ μν d L ) ( e rmR σ μν ν L ) produces through radiative corrections an interaction of the structure ( u R d L ) ( e R ν L , which is stronly limited by the decay π − →e − ν . The latter limit translates then into an upper bound of the strength of the tensor interaction which is at least two orders of magnitude lower than the value claimed by a recent measurement of the decay π − →e ν γ . Some aspects of a possible tensor interaction related to this bound are also discussed.
