We study the $\tau \to \nu_\tau A$ decay, with $A$ an axial-vector meson. We produce the $a_1(1260)$ and $b_1(1235)$ resonances in the Cabibbo favored mode and two $K_1(1270)$ states in the Cabibbo suppressed mode. We take advantage of…
Effective chiral theory of mesons is applied to study the four decay modes of $\tau\to\rho\pi\pi\nu$. Theoretical values of the branching ratios are in agreement with the data. The theory predicts that the $a_{1}$ resonance plays a dominant…
