Part II of Phil's notes, dated July 14, 1977, summarizing Henry Stapp's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory paper on analytic S-matrix theory. Phil comments section by section on the general formalism, Landau surfaces, pole factorization, Hermitian analyticity and the spin-statistics proof. It also includes a photocopied abstract and introduction of the paper and selected pages from Barut on Poincare group representations and spinor amplitudes.

| stuffin1962-196) whenS-matrixtheorywas|bloomingintovogue. Tome, crossing and hermitian icity are roughly the same idea. There is
| ananlytic function whichdoeseverything apdyouarefreetocontinue around where
you like. Olive's 1964 work considered normal threshold singularities, whereashereHenrgyconsidersallsingularities“fmeaningthepositive-4stuffwhichyou |deduce bylooking atthe bubble diagrams, ie, all the singularities required by
unitarity). Henry's work onfinding all physical regeon singularities isbased on
idea called macrocauslity, about which Hstys much inlater papers.
Interms ofspin-statistics, Himppbves older proofs byavoiding the delicate
idea ofphases when you interchange unlike particles. However, Froissart and Taylor
(note added) sort ofreduce the need for He#ry's improvement.
The pole factorization theorem ischvious, but needed repairs because faulty
@ assumptions wereusedearlier.
Inshort, this isnot aBeginner's paper. Itisaspecialists paper, where
various proofs arerefined. Hence, you should not read itexcept forthe review of
notation inSection 2. Probably better toread the Trieste notes for general overview.
Ithink Trieste happened only 1year before Henry finished this paper, somaybe not
too much new between them.

beobvious interms ofthe S-matrix. Now fconsider just the LT's called A.It
isobvious that U(A) X(K) isgoing totake the 4-momenta into AK, soBarut
says: write U(A)=Q(A)T(A) andletT(A)|donothing butthisaction ontheK
variables.” Ashesays, under T(A), X(K) transforms asascalar.
Duetodcstuff, T(A) isunitary, Siknce U(A) issuppsed tobeunitary,
Q(A) must also beunitary.
Next, heshows thet Q(A) must compute with translations. Ifthis isso, it
then follows that Q(A) must not affect the] arguments K. This means that Q(A) can
only act onthe spin type indices,
Finally, heshows that foreachparticle there isaQ,(4), andthat this
Q,(A) must formarepresentation oftheliftle group ofk.Ishould have said
that Q(A) isaproduct ofQ;(k,,A). Byfomehow mapping thegeneral k,packto
the rest’ vector you enéd upwith aWigner fotation.
All this stuff concludes with (2.26) which says that the function X(K)
transforms with the usual translation phasds and aWigner rotation product, as
e@usual.

SoIregard (2.13), whicih Ialready kmow, asthe final result ofthis section.
Case bIskipped deals with the lightlike little group,
Tosummarize this section, Barut has shown how the S-matrix elements transform,
inthe case ofall massive orall massless particles. However, hehas done this without
ever mentioning single particle states.
Sectdon ‘3:5:““rinally ‘the“trérisfornation Puls16Witten indmg’ofthes-matrix.Baruts convention istD”goeswithaninboning particle, Dwithoutgoing. Also,
@__in(2.43)neshowsaspecific example, soheisalsosaying:incoming particles
have “up indices, outgoing particles have|"down" indices. Notice that healways
tilts his indices onthe D-functions intht correct way.
Barut mentions isospin inpassing|end notes that much simpler, though same
D-functions. You can make amplitudes oftotal I,but not oftotal S,because Sisnot
conserved inthe theory whereas Iis.
Finally, the two special cases aré mentioned: the helicity amplitudes and
| theR-amplitudes which Icall canonical.
Section2.6:SpinorM-functions. Notice,Wytheway,thatBarutwasusingbothupand |downindicesforR-functionsCeoncrteeted- neverdothisbecauserotationsfunctions |only are used, noneed togoupand down. dutcertainly you could goupand down ifyou

| canonical amplitudes totheM-functions. Héshowshoweverything trnasforms inanice
compact notation, though theindexattachments arenotquiteobvious. Iskipthe
naxsless case,onceagain. Thisstuffis@llcleartome._
@ section 2.7:veryshort. Showsthatnunber| offermions mustbeevenusingthe
transformation properties ofthe R-functionb. Very nice, but obvious. Footnote is
interesting: some people erroneously call fhis asuperselection rule, itisnot!
It follows from rotation invariance.

and5.2,|sus5.1:Lookatonceat(5.7)and(9.8),whichgivesparityinvariance.The e@arguments ¥arelikemomenta, somaybe%4pMwhereas a=sp’,theparity inverted p.
Then thecombinations of5.7and5.8gives parity invariance. YouseetheL(p)*
appearing inside the D-functions, just the way Iwant. You see the product ofintrinsicnateparityfactorsgatheringinfront.‘pomtheorderoftheinitialoffinal state isnotchanged. Iskip therest ofthissection. Parity agrees with what I
get for same.
Sections 5.2 and 5.4s Tomethese section’ come across asvery confused. The notation
“isnot clearly explained. Worse, there is fhat Iconsider amistake: Barut suggests
that ‘enanti particle should have anegative spin projection aswells asanegative
isospin projection. This isinconflict with“usual” understanding (eg,Sakurai
. bobdk onP,C,T; Martin Spearman; Williams, etc) whox say that the operator Cshould
commute withallPoincare generators. So,|thismeansthattheJ,eigenvalue ofa
particle atrest cannot benegated byC. [Because Barut says that the index mshould
benegated, hegetstherelation (5.20) forC-invariance: inBerut’s notation,
adotted index isnumberically the negativd ofanundotted index. Since hesees
ethespinasnegatingunderC,hesaysthatyoushouldinterchange dottedwithundotted indices onthe canonical amplitudds. Except for this interchange ofthe
dotted with undotted locations, Icould agreewith (5.20).
Next, (5.21) gives thecombination ofPT. IntheR-amplitudes, since initial
statesgowithD*andfinalstatesgowithP(thewayBaruthaschosentodothings),
clearly initial indices are dotted and finei indices are undotted for anamplitude.
Then PT,since itincludes T,should changel dotted tountotted, soIagree with
(5.21), ignoring isospin. For T-alone, Ithen agree with (5.22).
The three equations ,actually thejfour, namely (5.19) through (5.22), tell
the action ofall the symmetries onthe canbnical amplitudes called R.Iagree witheverythingexceptthedotted-undotted ifcausedbyC.Inparticular,therearenoD-functions, which isthesameresult Igetwith the/om)e amplitudes.Next, hewantstoconvert allthesb statements totheM-functions. In

otherkind. |
Ingeneral, Baruts' handling ofthese discretes just leaves mecold. Iwill have
toexamine Stapp tosee ifthe same kind ofconfusion arises. IfStapp also does
things in’thisway,thenIwillgobackandrestudy: things. Taylor doesnotseem @
todothings inthis way.
Sectioh’ 5.5: CPT theorem end etalyticity. Cleims that the CPT theorem isalso obtained
directly from the simple transformation law using the magic: complex transformation.
Ithink this iswhat stapp said tomeone day. Somehow Ithink ofthis asbeing
comgined with crossing toget the CPR theorem.
overall comments: Although Barut has lots tosay about things Iaminterested in, some-
how hejust doest tell methings Iwant toknow. Wehave aterrible notational
diferente, for one thing.
nething that Idont Bike ishisignoring thesingl-particle states. Enough.

“g-channel, 0(3) helicity M-function."!
Asaparticular application,in (2.}5) weseehowyoucanrelate the
