Abstract
We derive a novel representation of the partial wave amplitude over the left-hand cut for scattering. We express the left-hand cut of arbitrary isospin and angular momentum partial waves as an integral of right-hand cut imaginary parts. This formulation provides an explicit, exact extraction of the logarithmic branch cut structures, offering a valuable tool to systematically quantify left-hand cut uncertainties in unitarization methods such as the Inverse Amplitude Method or approaches.
