Summary
Using only the fundamental assumptions of Lorentz covariance, locality, and mass spectrum we derive certain results concerning the analytic function in momentum space. The boundary values of this function are closely related to the scattering amplitudes.
Riassunto
Facendo uso solamente delle ipotesi fondamentali della covarianza di Lorentz, località, e spettro di massa deriviamo alcuni risultati concernenti la funzione analitica nello spazio degli impulsi. I valori ai limiti di questa funzione sono strettamente connessi alle ampiezze di scattering.
