I t is pointed out that, contrary to the view expressed by Nakanishi, there is no real reason why one should rigidly follow the so-called "real space-momentum" prescription when "pinching" occurs in a field theory with indefinite metric. Since by adopting the modification introduced by Cutkosky et al., a relativistic and unitary S matrix can be obtained, that should be the obvious choice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
