A scattering amplitude in Conformal Field Theory

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Marco Meineri, Marc Gillioz

We define form factors and scattering amplitudes in Conformal Field Theory as the coefficient of the singularity of the Fourier transform of time-ordered correlation functions, as p(2) -> 0. In particular, we study a form factor F(s, t, u) obtained from a ...
