Abstract

The analyticity properties of the scattering amplitude in the nonforward direction are investigated for a field theory in the manifold R3,1×S1\mathbb{R}^{3,1}\times S^1. A scalar field theory of mass m0m_0 is considered in D=5D = 5 Minkowski space to start with. Subsequently, one spatial dimension is compactified to a circle. The mass spectrum of the resulting theory is: (a) a massive scalar of mass, m0m_0, same as the original five dimensional theory and (b) a tower of massive Kaluza-Klein states. We derive nonforward dispersion relations for scattering of the excited Kaluza-Klein states in the Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann formulation of the theory. In order to accomplish this object, first we generalize the Jost-Lehmann-Dyson theorem for a relativistic field theory with a compact spatial dimension. Next, we show the existence of the Lehmann-Martin ellipse inside which the partial wave expansion converges. It is proved that the scattering amplitude satisfies fixed-tt dispersion relations when t|t| lies within the Lehmann-Martin ellipse.
