Abstract
We propose a dispersive representation of the charged pion vector form factor that is consistent with chiral symmetry and fulfills the constraints imposed by analyticity and unitarity. Unknown parameters are fitted to the very precise data on τ −→π − π 0 ν τ decays obtained by Belle, leading to a good description of the corresponding spectral function up to a ππ squared invariant mass s≃1.5 GeV2. We determine the ρ(770) mass and width pole parameters and obtain the values of low-energy observables. The significance of isospin-breaking corrections is also discussed. For larger values of s, this representation is complemented with a phenomenological description to allow its implementation in the new TAUOLA hadronic currents.

Notes
The asymptotic limit of the phase shift obtained from Eq. (16) slightly deviates from this value, owing to the linear growth of Γ ρ with s.
Best fits are obtained in all cases for s 1≃0.98 GeV2, in agreement with theoretical expectations.
Details of this parametrization are given in the next section, see Eq. (31) and below.
