Abstract

The off--shell electromagnetic vertex function of pions and kaons is studied in a bosonized Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with a gauge--invariant proper--time cutoff. The slope of the pion form factor with respect to the pion 4--momentum is found to be equal to the on--shell pion charge radius in the chiral limit. The off--shell slope of the K0K^0 form factor is zero, that of the K±K^\pm about 15\% smaller than that of the pion. We compare our results with those of a recent calculation in chiral perturbation theory.
