Summary

A theory for bootstrapping entire Regge eigentrajectories of a coupled-channel system is discussed. This is an extension of a recently proposed theory for bootstrapping Regge trajectories in the framework of single-channel processes. The formalism is based on a Regge representation for a partial-wave eigenamplitude which satisfies the following properties regardless of the number of eigentrajectories included; it has the correct threshold behavior for the real and the imaginary parts and it is unitary. The total scattering amplitudes are constructed in terms of eigentrajectories which have the correct Mandelstam-cut structure in thes-t-u plane and are also unitary. The representations are expected to converge rapidly in terms of the number of trajectories since the amplitudes used have been modified to take account of the infinite set ofJ-singularities in their Born limit. The relationship of Levinson's theorem to the motion of Regge eigenpoles is discussed. Invoking crossing, a set of bootstrap equations is obtained for a self-consistent determination of the Regge trajectories which occur as the sole input in the formalism.

Riassunto

Si discute una teoria per eseguire il bootstrap di intere autotraiettorie di Regge di un sistema di canali accoppiati. Si tratta dell'estensione di una teoria proposta di recente per eseguire il bootstrap delle traiettorie di Regge nello schema dei processi di un solo canale. Il formalismo si basa sulla rappresentazione di Regge di un'autoampiezza di onda parziale che soddisfa le seguenti proprietà a, prescindere dal numero di autotraiettorie incluse: essa ha il corretto comportamento di soglia per le parti reale ed imaginaria ed è unitaria. Si costruiscono le ampiezze di scattering totali in funzioni di autotriettorie che hanno la corretta struttura del taglio di Mandelstam nel pianos-t-u e sono anche unitarie. Ci si attende che le rappresentazioni convergano rapidamente in base al numero delle traiettorie poiché le ampiezze usate sono state modificate per tenere conto del gruppo infinito di singolaritàJ nel loro limite di Born. Si discute il rapporto fra il teorema di Levinson e il moto degli autopoli di Regge. Ricorrendo l'incrocio, si ottiene un gruppo di equazioni di bootstrap per una determinazione autocoerente delle traiettorie di Regge che si presentano come gli unici dati del formalismo.

Резюме

Обсуждается теория бутстрэпа для собственных Редже траекторий в двухканальной системе. Это представляет расширение недавно предложенной теории бутстрэп для Редже траекторий в рамках одноканальных процессов. Формализм основаан на Редже представлении для парциальной собственной амплитуды, которая удовлетворяет следующим свойствам, независимо от числа рассматриваемых собственных траекторий, амплитуда имеет правильное пороговое поведение для вещественной и мнимой частей, и амплитуда является унитарной. Суммарные амплитуды рассеяния конструируются в терминах собственных траекторий, которые имеют правильную структуру Мандельстама для разрезов вs-t-u плоскости и являются также унитарными. Ожидается, что представления быстро сходятся в терминах числа траекторий, т.к. использованные амплитуды видоизменены с учетом бесконечной системыJ-сингулярностей в Борновском пределе. Обсуждается свяэр теоремы Левинсона с движением собственных полюсов Редже. Применяя кроссинг, получается система бутстрэп-уравнений для самосогласованного определения траекторий Редже, которые оказываются единственным предположением в этом формализме.

Although the partial-waveS-matrix used here was derived assuming only simple poles in the λ-plane, it may be pointed out that the present procedure can be very easily generalized to include more complicated analytic structure in the λ-plane (e.g. branch cuts) if this is demanded by the relativistic problem.
