Description

We will describe the analytic structure and positivity properties of the perturbative S-matrix of excitations in a relativistic phi^4 superfluid. Motivated by this, we will then discuss how microcausality implies non-perturbative analyticity properties of correlators in a mixed (t,k) representation. This result applies to generic relativistic QFTs in homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds, including finite temperature or density, and cosmological spacetimes.
