Electromagnetic vertex function of the pion at T > 0

The matrix element of the electromagnetic current between pion states is calculated in quenched lattice QCD at a temperature of $T = 0.93 T_c$. The nonperturbatively improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert action is used together with the corresponding ${\cal O}(a)$ improved vector current. The electromagnetic vertex function is extracted for pion masses down to $360 {\rm MeV}$ and momentum transfers $Q^2 \le 2.7 {\rm GeV}^2$.
