Abstract
We study the asymptotic behavior of the ratio of Pauli and Dirac electromagnetic nucleon form factors, , in time-like region for different parametrizations built for the space-like region. We investigate how fast the ratio approaches the asymptotic limits according to the Phragm\`en-Lindel\"of theorem. We show that the QCD-inspired logarithmic behavior of this ratio results in very far asymptotics, experimentally unachievable. This is also confirmed by the normal component of the nucleon polarization, , in (in collisions of unpolarized leptons), which is a very interesting observable, with respect to this theorem. Finally we observe that the 1/Q parametrization of contradicts this theorem.
