Complex Angular Momentum in General Quantum Field Theory
Abstract
It is proven that for each given two-field channel - called the ``t-channel''- with (off-shell) ``scattering angle'' , the four-point Green's function of any scalar Quantum Fields satisfying the basic principles of locality, spectral condition together with temperateness admits a Laplace-type transform in the corresponding complex angular momentum variable , dual to . This transform enjoys the following properties: a) it is holomorphic in a half-plane of the form , where m is a certain ``degree of temperateness'' of the fields considered, b) it is in one-to-one (invertible) correspondence with the (off-shell) ``absorptive parts'' in the crossed two-field channels, c) it extrapolates in a canonical way to complex values of the angular momentum the coefficients of the (off-shell) t-channel partial-wave expansion of the Euclidean four-point function of the fields. These properties are established for all space-time dimensions d+1 with .
