Analyticity in Angular Momentum of the Relativistic Many-ChannelSMatrix from Dispersion Relations and Unitarity
Physical Review1962Vol. 128(4), pp. 1959–1963
Abstract
The analyticity of the scattering amplitude in angular momentum for $N$-coupled relativistic two-body channels is investigated on the basis of Mandelstam representation and unitarity. The problem of the proof of the analytic properties of the amplitude is reduced to the boundedness of a particular kernel involving the left-hand discontinuity of the amplitude. The behavior of the Regge trajectories at inelastic thresholds is determined. The results are extended to relativistic models with infinite-dimensional unitarity relation but without crossing symmetry such as the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. The implications of the results to the exact $S$-matrix theory are also discussed.
