We determine the model-independent component of the couplings of axions to electroweak gauge bosons, induced by the minimal coupling to QCD inherent to solving the strong CP problem. The case of the invisible QCD axion is developed first, and the impact on W and Z axion couplings is discussed. The analysis is extended next to the generic framework of heavy true axions and low axion scales, corresponding...
