Analyticity Properties of the S-Matrix: Historical Survey and Recent Results in S-Matrix Theory and Axiomatic Field Theory

  • Conference paper
New Developments in Mathematical Physics

Part of the book series: Acta Physica Austriaca ((FEWBODY,volume 23/1981))

Abstract

An introduction to recent works, in S-matrix theory and axiomatic field theory, on the analysis and derivation of momentum-space analyticity properties of the multi– particle S-matrix is presented. It includes an historical survey, which outlines the successes but also the basic difficulties encountered in the sixties in both theories, and the evolution of the subject in the seventies.

Lectures given at XX. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, Austria, February 17–26, 1981
