In the framework of U(3) symmetric quark model, triangular diagrams are calculated that describe the strongly interacting vertices a1>>rhopi and a1>>K*K. The divergences arising when considering quark loops are regularized by covariant cutoff parameter. Based on four-particle hadronic τ decays, the quark structure of the resonance with quantum numbers JPC=1++ was studied. Theoretical estimates of intermediate channels with the meson for the partial decay widths of tau>>pipipinu, tau>>KKpinu and tau>>KKetanu are obtained. Contributions from contact channels describing the direct production of 3pi, KKpi and KKeta mesons by τ lepton current are taken into account. The interference of contact and intermediate axial-vector channels in determining the integral decay widths is studied. The matrix elements of the processes are obtained in the leading approximation of 1/Nc expansion. It is shown that calculations on τ lepton mesonic decays confirm the quark-antiquark structure of the a1 meson and clarify the role of the intermediate non-strange axial-vector channel in determining the integral partial decay widths. The obtained results are compared with experimental data by BaBar and Belle collaborations at the BEPC II and KEK lepton colliders.
