 Hermitian analyticity of a two-particle S-matrix

In a real species basis, the two-particle S-matrix satisfies $S(-{\theta }^{\ast })=S(\theta {)}^{†}$ under the usual scattering analyticity assumptions. On the real rapidity axis this relates inverse-rapidity amplitudes to complex conjugates. Combined with the algebraic inverse relation $S(\theta )S(-\theta )=I$, it gives physical unitarity.
