Summary
A formal definition of a continuation of partial-wave amplitudes from physicall values is given, and shown to be unique. The cases of potential scattering and of a relativisticS-matrix theory satisfying the Mandelstam representation are then considered in detail.
Riassunto
Si dà una definizione formale di una continuazione delle ampiezze dell’onda parziale dei valori dil, e si dimostra che essa è unica. Si considerano poi dettagliatamente i casi dello scattering di potenziale e di una teoria relativistica della matriceS che soddisfa la rappresentazione di Mandelstam.
