Comment on the Dispersion Relations used to Calculate
Abstract
We use the operator product expansion (OPE) to show that non-perturbative QCD corrections to can be calculated using unsubtracted dispersion relations for either the transverse or the longitudinal vacuum polarization functions. Recent calculations of the non-perturbative contribution to based on a non-relativistic calculation of corrections to the threshold are inconsistent with this result.
