Abstract: | The form factors of the light pseudoscalar mesons are investigated in a dispersive formalism based on hadronic unitarity,
analyticity and the OPE expansion of the QCD Green functions. We propose generalizations of the original mathematical techniques,
suitable for including additional low energy information provided by experiment or Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT). The
simultaneous treatment of the electroweak form factors of the and K mesons allows us to test the consistency with QCD of a low energy CHPT theorem. By applying the formalism to the pion electromagnetic
form factor, we derive quite strong constraints on the higher Taylor coefficients at zero momentum, using information about
the phase and the modulus of the form factor along a part of the unitarity cut.
