Abstract
The equivalence between macrocausality and physical-region analyticity properties of the S-matrix, which has first been proved in reference 1, is described here in an improved version derived from Chapter II of reference 2.
This version follows from various mathematical developments (references 3,4) which have allowed to give a somewhat better statement of the macrocausality property and to complete the results of reference 1 in various ways.
It turns out, in particular, that the independence property, which was originally presented (in some situations) as a supplementary assumption, can always be derived from macrocausality.
