Hard-Pion Results from the Algebra of Fields

The "hard-pion" calculations for the $A\rho \pi$ system are reexamined with the smoothness hypothesis replaced by the use of the Bjorken limit and the algebra-of-fields current commutators. The new results contain one additional parameter which affects only the transverse $A\rho \pi$ coupling, and are in better agreement with experiment. It is pointed out that it is impossible to combine the quark-model commutation relations with these hard-pion methods.
