Abstract
For the discussion of multichannel resonances in Chapter XX, we require the properties of the S-matrix that follow from time-reversal invariance. In Section XIX.1 space-inversion invariance is applied to determine some properties of the S-matrix. Time reversal is introduced in Section XIX.2. The main purpose of Section XIX.1 is to introduce Section XIX.3, where the consequences of time-reversal invariance for the properties of the S-matrix are examined.
