For real u, this scalar S-matrix block satisfies Su​(θ)Su​(−θ)=1 and Hermitian analyticity of a two-particle S-matrix. It therefore has modulus one for real rapidity differences. For 0<u<π its pole at θ=iu has residue 2isinu and admits a direct-channel bound-state pole interpretation. Its crossed block is cosh[(θ−iu)/2]/cosh[(θ+iu)/2]. The endpoints u=0 and u=π 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.
