Abstract

K3K_{\ell 3} and πe3\pi_{e 3} transition form factors are calculated as an application of Dyson-Schwinger equations. The role of nonanalytic contributions to the quark--W-boson vertex is elucidated. A one-parameter model for this vertex provides a uniformly good description of these transitions, including the value of the scalar form factor of the kaon at the Callan-Treiman point. The K3K_{\ell 3} form factors, f±Kf_\pm^K, are approximately linear on t[me2,mμ2]t\in [m_e^2,m_\mu^2] and have approximately the same slope. fK(0)f_-^K(0) is a measure of the Euclidean constituent-quark mass ratio: MsE/MuEM^E_s/M^E_u. In the isospin symmetric limit: f+π(0)=Fπ(t)-f_+^\pi(0)= F_\pi(t), the electromagnetic pion form factor, and fπ(t)0f_-^\pi(t)\equiv 0.
