Abstract
A derivation of the cyclic form factor equation from quantum field theoretical principles is given; form factors being the matrix elements of a field operator between scattering states. The scattering states are constructed from Haag-Ruelle type interpolating fields with support in a `comoving' Rindler spacetime. The cyclic form factor equation then arises from the KMS property of the modular operators Delta associated with the field algebras of these Rindler wedges. The derivation in particular shows that the equation holds in any massive 1+1 dim. relativistic QFT, regardless of its integrability.
