  11. Techniques of current algebra in the study of radiative corrections to weak interactions were first applied by Bjorken, J. D.,-Ref. 6, and Phys. Rev. 160, 1582 (E) (1967) and Abers, E. S., Norton. R. E., Dicus, D. A.: Phys. Rev. Letters 18, 676 (1967). These authors did not consider the contribution coming from the electromagnetic corrections to the axial vector current. This was considered in Ref. 13.

  14. One does not know whether or not there are operator Schwinger terms in equal-time commutation relations. If they are present, we are assuming that, in the divergence relations like (44) or (39), they are cancelled by the Seagull terms that might be present in our matrix elements (recall that * on T-product was put to indicate the possible presence of such terms).
