Summary
It is shown that in anS-matrix with crossing, criteria of compositeness based on the vanishing of renormalization constants can be applied in a consistent way, allowing us to study the crucial dependence of the left-hand singularities on the degree of elementarity of the exchanged particles. Then, using both field theory andS-matrix approaches, we solve a paradox about an «impossibility», stated several times in the literature, of distinguishing between elementarity and compositeness of two baryons in two crossed channels: on the contrary, we exhibit different physical interpretations for distinct domains of the parameters values, at the boundary of which the amplitude undergoes critical change. We discriminate the various cases where each particle is either elementary or composite; when only one of these two baryons is («chain» or «ladder») composite, its mass is always the heaviest one. Next, we discuss and compare in our explicit model theZ=0, strong coupling limit and reciprocal bootstrap approaches, together with a discussion of approximations currently used in theN/D calculations. The vanishing of bothZ, while keeping finite the coupling constants, implies a characteristic symmetry in the theory.
Riassunto
Si dimostra che, in una matriceS con incrocio, si possono applicare in modo coerente criteri di composizione basati sull’annullarsi delle costanti di rinormalizzazione, permettendoci di studiare la cruciale dipendenza delle singolarità di sinistra dal grado di elementarità delle particelle scambiate. Poi, usando sia la teoria dei campi che gli approcci con la matriceS, si risolve un paradosso su una «impossibilità», affermata parecchie volte nella letteratura sull’argomento, di distinguere fra l’elementarità e la composizione di due barioni in due canali incrociati: al contrario si offrono differenti interpretazioni fisiche per distinti domini dei valori dei parametri, ai cui bordi le ampiezze subiscono un cambiamento critico. Si discriminano i vari casi in cui ciascuna particella è o elementare o composta; quando uno solo di questi due barioni è composto («a catena» o «a scalini»), la sua massa è sempre quella maggiore. Poi si discutono e si confrontano nel nostro modello esplicito gli approcci del limite dell’accoppiamento forte,Z=0, e del bootstrap reciproco, e si discutono anche le approssimazioni correntemente usate nei calcoli diN/D. L’annullarsi di entrambi gliZ, mentre si mantengono finite le costanti di accoppiamento, implica una caratteristica simmetria della teoria.
Резюме
Показывается, что вS-матрице с кроссингом критерий сложности, основанный на обращении в нуль перенормировочных констант, может быть применен последовательным образом, позволяюшим нам изучить критическую зависимость левосторонних сингулярностей от степени элементарности элементарных частиц. Затем, используя и теорию поля и подходS-матрицы, мы разрешаем парадокс о «невозможности», отмеченной несколько раз в литературе, различения элементарности и сложности двух барионов в двух поперечных каналах: наоборот, мы указываем различные физические интерпретации для отдельных областей величин параметров, на границе которых амплитуда притерпевает критическое изменение. Мы различаем различные случаи, где каждая частица либо является элементарной, либо сложной: когда только один из этих двух барионов является («цепочным» или «лестничным») сложным, причем, его масса всегда является наибольшей. Затем мы обсуждаем и сравниваем в нашей точной моделиZ=0, предел сильной связи и приближения взаимного бутстрепа, вместе с обсужжением приближений, обычно используемых вN/D вычислениях. Обращение в нуль обоихZ, хотя константы связи остаются «конечными», означает характеристическую симметрию в теории.

Let us note that if in slightly different modelsJ(z) is for some reason no longer a function ofz 2, the boundary of the two domains, being always given byg(z)=c, corresponds then to Δ′=aΔ for somea.

Also (cf. note (6)). it is now evident that the conditions for the indistinguish-ability of these 2-parameter amplitudes from the amplitude with both V and W elementary, are not identically satisfied, contrarily to a statement in ref. (3)F. E. Low:Nuovo Cimento,25, 678 (1962). Indeed, these conditions (corresponding to our eqs. (49), which are in ref. (3)F. E. Low:Nuovo Cimento,25, 678 (1962), called the «correct» residues) express the ladder compositeness of either W inT [2] or V inT [2′].
Let us note that it is obviously the variablez=w k , homogeneous to a mass, which comes into the propagator of the static particle, and not its square, as used in ref. (17), which leads there to explicit, but incorrect, propagator and renormalization constant.

Let us note that one finds in ref. (16), about an amplitude similar toT [1] the incorrect result ofQ Δ infinite whatever be the cut-off. However, we shall see thatQ Δ may become finite in this case, without contradiction withZ v=0.
See:R. L. Warnock:Phys. Rev.,131, 1320 (1963).
We shall here consider, for less complexity, that there are no supplementary resonances in the channels; the cases when these resonances are present, are to be placed in the frame of the particular concepts which arise due to the presence of more than on particle with the same quantum numbers, as shown in ref. (12).
Let us note that the limit case with no cut-off functioni.e. U(K)=1 (case in which the amplitude is written for instance in (4) ; the argument leading to the mentioned «ambiguity» being anyway evidently independent of the cut-offs) is quite singular in the sense that it corresponds to renormalization constants which areidentically zero (and to separately divergent integrals inH(z) for each cut), while the proof of Sect.4 is formally identical. Indeed, the Nθ channel phase shift decreases then from 0 to σ, forz varying from 1 to infinity, with: π/2<σ<0 forb>0 where V is elementary; σ=−π/2 forb=0 where V and W are composite; and σ<−π/2 forb<0 where V is composite. The quantityQ of (59) is then always infinite, and thereforeZ Δ≡0, forany value ofg 2, even a very small one. It is moreover usual in the literature (38)K. Huang andF. E. Fow:Journ. Math. Phys. 6, 795 1965. to consider in static models that, even ifU=1 in the Hamiltonian, the phase space is to be weighted in the elastic approximation by a function representing the inelastic processes; moreover this pathological case is perhaps also originated (33)J.
