Unitary evolution from pure initial states to pure final states in pi(-)p-> pi(-)pi(+)n imposes constraints on pion production amplitudes that are violated by CERN data on polarized target at 17.2 GeV/c. The pion creation is a non-unitary…

We develop a relativistic covariant and unitary description of the pion-nucleon interaction in a hadron-exchange model. The model is based on the solution of a dimensionally reduced (quasipotential) Bethe-Salpeter equation for the…
We examine the role of the elementary isoscalar pion--nucleon scattering amplitude in the description of the processes $pp \to pp\pi^0$ and $pp\to d\pi^+$ at threshold. We argue that the presently used tree level dimension two approximation…
A Wilsonian approach based on the Similarity Renormalization Group to $\pi\pi$ scattering is analyzed in the $JI=$00, 11 and 02 channels in momentum space up to a maximal CM energy of $\sqrt{s}=1.4$ GeV. We identify the Hamiltonian by means…
We argue that due to isospin and U-spin invariance of strong low-energy interactions the S-wave scattering lengths a^0_0 and a^1_0 of bar-KN scattering with isospin I=0 and I = 1 satisfy the low-energy theorem a^0_0 + 3 a^1_0 = 0 valid to…
The available experimental information is consistent with the Weinberg predictions for the threshold parameters of pi-pi-scattering. The data, however, only test those relations that are insensitive to the quark masses m_u and m_d. Recent…
