We consider the role of the Ward identity in dealing with the transport properties of an interacting system forming a d-wave modulated charge-density wave or staggered flux phase. In particular, we address this issue from the point of view of the restricted optical-conductivity sum rule. Our aim is to provide a controlled approximation for the current-current correlation function which allows us...
