Abstract
The problem of formulating the spectral condition for vacuum expectation values of quantum fields with singular infrared behavior is discussed. It is shown that this problem is closely connected with the problem of extending the Paley-Wiener-Schwartz theorem to wider distribution classes. Studying this connection leads to a generalized spectral condition applicable to fields of arbitrarily high singularity.
