Complex angular momentum diagonalization of the Bethe-Salpeter structure in beneral quantum field theory (Q1396540)

Let \(H( k_1, k_2; k_1', k_2')\) be the four point function in the complex momentum variables in \({\mathbb C}^{d+1}\) of a general quantum field theory of two scalar fields satisfying the basic principles of local commutativity, Poincaré invariance, spectral condition and temperate ultraviolet behavior. Previously, the authors showed the Laplace-type transforms of \(H\) are holomorphic functions in \(t=(k_1 + k_2)^2 < 0\) and the complex angular momentum variable \(\lambda_t > N_H >0\), which is dual to the scattering angle \(\Theta_t\). They want to perform meromorphic continuations of the transforms of \(H\) to the domain which includes the set \(\{(t, \lambda_t) \mid 0<t<t_0, \lambda_t >N(t) \}\). (The possible poles in the set are the ``Regge poles''.) For this purpose, they extend the analysis of the general Bethe-Salpeter structure so as to include the variable \(\lambda_t\) in the present article.
