Divergent Vertices and Ward Identities

Abstract
Schwinger and Adler have discovered that if the A1ωρ off-shell vertex function is linearly divergent, then the axial-vector Ward identity for the A1ωρ vertex contains an extra model-dependent term. It is shown here that no extra term occurs in the Ward identities for the A1ρπ system when the A1A1ρ vertex is linearly divergent.
