Källén–Lehmann spectrum conjecture for propagators on hyperbolic and Euclidean manifolds
Källén–Lehmann spectrum conjecture for propagators on hyperbolic and Euclidean manifolds
Let be a manifold whose universal cover is or . In the hyperboloid model, or in the pacman model, consider the proper times associated with the deck transformations of a point , and suppose these proper times can be partitioned into disjoint periodic collections of the form . Denote the resulting partition by .
Källén–Lehmann spectrum conjecture. The free scalar propagator on has a Källén–Lehmann power spectrum equivalent to
where is a discrete set whose only cluster point is zero, with implying . For each , there is some such that .
The source explicitly says that this is a theorem for manifolds whose universal cover is ; it does not provide a resolution status for the corresponding claim in the broader hyperbolic-or-Euclidean formulation.
