Abstract: | Results on the links between 2-particle irreducibility and asymptotic completeness are presented in the framework of a renormalized Bethe-Salpeter formalism, introduced recently by J. Bros from an axiomatic viewpoint, for the most simple class of renormalizable theories. These results, which involve therenormalized 2-particle irreducible kernelG (i.e. from the perturbative viewpoint the sum of renormalized Feynman amplitudes of 2-particle irreducible graphs in the channel considered), complement the general quasi-equivalence previously established by Bros forregularized (non-renormalized) Bethe-Salpeter kernels. On the one hand, a formal derivation of (2-particle) asymptotic completeness from the irreducibility ofG is given. On the other hand, the links between regularized and renormalized kernels are investigated. This analysis provides in particular a converse derivation (up to some assumptions) of the 2-particle irreducibility ofG from asymptotic completeness. As a byproduct, it also provides a more explicit justification of previous heuristic derivations by K. Symanzik of integral equations betweenF and various differences of values ofG, and a simple alternative derivation of the recently proposed renormalized Bethe-Salpeter equation. |
