Abstract

The LSZ asymptotic condition and the Yang-Feldman equations are derived in a Wightman quantum field theory on a dense set of scattering states. The Green's distributions are shown to be sufficiently regular around the energy shell to give well-defined reduction formulae for the scattering amplitudes.
