Summary
Assuming the usual analyticity for mesonic Regge trajectories we correlate the asymptotic (power) behaviour of the trajectories with the number of complex zeros of the functionα(s) —N, N being an integer of adequate parity. Trajectories that grow nearly linearly do not have such zeros.
Riassunto
Adottando l’usuale analiticità per le traiettorie di Regge mesoniche, si mette in relazione il comportamento asintotico (di potenze) delle traiettorie con il numero di zeri complessi della funzioneα(s) —N, in cuiN è un intero di adeguata parità. Le traiettorie che crescono quasi linearmente non hanno zeri di questo tipo.
Реэюме
Предполагая обычную аналитичность для меэонных траекторий Редже, мы свяэываем асимптотическое (степенное) поведение зтих траекторий с числом комплексных нулей функции α(s) —N, гдеN целое число. Траектории, которые растут почти линейно, не имеют таких нулей.
