Abstract: (Elsevier)
A method is presented for constructing amplitudes which are the most general solutions to the Ward identities of current algebra. These solutions, expressed in terms of undertermined scalar functions, exhibit a wide class of amplitudes which satisfy the current algebra constraints. Further information is obtained from the model dependent equal-time commulators of the space components of the currents by means of the Bjorken-Johnson-Low limits, which provide boundary conditions for certain asymptotic expansions of the scalar functions. Simple phenomenological models are discussed within this framework, and a connection between the Gilman-Harari model and hard pion models is established.
