Abstract

For a local amplitude we prove a one-to-one correspondence between properly defined scaling, the leading light-cone singularity and the asymptotic behaviour of the corresponding Jost-Lehmann spectral function in the sense of distribution theory. The cases of canonical and non-canonical scaling are considered.
