A new dispersion relation for the partial wave $\pi\pi$ scattering $S$ matrix is set up. Using the dispersion relation we generalize the single channel unitarity condition, $SS^+=1$, to the entire complex $s$ plane, which is equivalent to…

Lattice QCD spectra can be used to constrain partial-wave scattering amplitudes that, while satisfying unitarity, do not have to respect crossing symmetry and analyticity. This becomes a particular problem when extrapolated far from real…
In this proceeding, we illustrate the applicability of a new parameterization of the S-wave amplitude on the example of the $\pi\pi \to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K \to \pi K $ lattice data ($m_\pi \sim 240$ MeV) from the HadSpec collaboration. The…

Axiomatic principles such as analyticity, unitarity and crossing symmetry constrain the second derivative of the pi pi scattering amplitudes in some channels to be positive in a region of the Mandelstam plane. Since this region lies in the…
In this paper we propose a dispersive method to describe two-body scattering with unitarity imposed. This approach is applied to elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering. The amplitudes keep single-channel unitarity and describe the experimental data…
