The rigorous analyticity-unitarity program and its successes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-07-19 v1

Abstract

We show how the combination of analyticity properties derived from local field theory and the unitarity condition (in particular positivity) leads to non-trivial physical results, including the proof of the "Froissart bound" from first principles and the existence of absolute bounds on the pion-pion scattering amplitude.
