A finite energy sum rule (FESR) analysis of the isospin-breaking vector
current correlator is used to determine the
isospin-breaking electromagnetic (EM) decay constants of the low-lying vector
mesons. These results are used to evaluate the corrections required to extract
the flavor diagonal 33 and 88 resonance contributions from the full resonance
EM contributions to the EM spectral function. A large (~15%) correction is
found in the case of the omega contribution to the isoscalar spectral function.
The implications of these results for sum rules based on the
isovector-isoscalar spectral difference are considered.Comment: Presentation to the 3rd International Conference on Symmetries in
