Abstract

This is a short review of work done in common with Jacques Bros, Michel Gaudin, Ugo Moschella, and Vincent Pasquier. Among results are explicit Källén–Lehmann representations for products of two free-field two-point functions in the de Sitter and the anti-de Sitter spaces and applications to particle decay.
