Abstract: We prove the following theorem on bounded operators in quantum field theory: if $|[B,B^{\ast }(x)]|leqmathrmconstD(x)$, then $|B_p^{k}m(u)G(P^0){|}^{2}leqmathrmconstintD(x-y)d|u|(x)d|u|(y)$, where $D(x)$ is a function weakly decaying in spacelike directions, $B_p^{k}m$ are creation/annihilation parts of an appropriate time derivative of $B$, $G$ is any positive, bounded, non-increasing function in $L^2(mathbbR)$, and $u$ is any finite complex Borel measure; creation/annihilation operators may be also replaced by $B_t^k$ with $check{B}_t^k(p)=|p{|}^{k}checkB(p)$. We also use the notion of energy-momentum scaling degree of $B$ with respect to a submanifold (Steinmann-type, but in momentum space, and applied to the norm of an operator). These two tools are applied to the analysis of singularities of $checkB(p)G(P^0)$. We prove, among others, the following statement (modulo some more specific assumptions): outside $p=0$ the only allowed contributions to this functional which are concentrated on a submanifold (including the trivial one -- a single point) are Dirac measures on hypersurfaces (if the decay of $D$ is not to slow).
