Dispersion representations and anomalous singularities of the triangle diagram

Abstract

We discuss dispersion representations for the triangle diagram $F(p_1^2,p_2^2,q^2)$, the single dispersion representation in $q^2$ and the double dispersion representation in $p_1^2$ and $p_2^2$, with special emphasis on the appearance of the anomalous singularities and the anomalous cuts in these representations. For the double dispersion representation in $p_1^2$ and $p_2^2$, the appearance of the anomalous cut in the region $q^2>0$ is demonstrated, and a new derivation of the anomalous double spectral density is given. We point out that the double spectral representation is particularly suitable for applications in the region of $p_1^2$ and/or $p_2^2$ above the two-particle thresholds. The dispersion representations for the triangle diagram in the nonrelativistic limit are studied and compared with the triangle diagram of the nonrelativistic field theory.
