 Unit-modulus hyperbolic scattering block

For real $u$, this scalar S-matrix block satisfies $S_u(\theta )S_u(-\theta )=1$ and Hermitian analyticity of a two-particle S-matrix. It therefore has modulus one for real rapidity differences. For $0<u<\pi$ its pole at $\theta =iu$ has residue $2i\sin u$ and admits a direct-channel bound-state pole interpretation. Its crossed block is $\cosh [(\theta -iu)/2]/\cosh [(\theta +iu)/2]$. The endpoints $u=0$ and $u=\pi$ are removable degeneracies giving constant amplitudes, so a particle cannot be inferred there from the uncancelled denominator alone. This block specifies an amplitude; a complete theory must also obey the remaining crossing symmetry and bootstrap fusion constraints.
