Abstract

The high-energy forward-scattering amplitude in λφ4 theory is investigated by means of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The class of irreducible diagrams which have dilatational symmetry at high energies is considered as kernels for the Bethe-Salpeter equation. For these kernels, the equation is solved using a Mellin transform. The solution is found to contain a term which, at high energies, behaves like En0/(lnE)c. This term is caused by a branch cut in a complex four-dimensional Euclidean angular-momentum plane. A lower bound for n0 is obtained from a simple diagram. Using the upper bound on n0 which results from unitarity, an upper bound on the coupling constant is obtained: λ<(3√ 8)π2.
