Abstract
We consider the spinor pole in second-order spinor-vector and spinor-axial-vector scattering for all possible couplings and show that, except for the vector coupling, none of the amplitudes factor. Therefore, only in the case of coupling does the spinor lie on a nondegenerate Regge trajectory for all values of the coupling constant. The degeneracy in the case of the axial-vector coupling is less than for the remainder of the couplings. We also consider the axial-vector pole in pseudoscalar-vector scattering and show that for one particular pseudoscalar-vector-axial-vector coupling, the sense amplitudes factor. These results are reconciled with the Mandelstam counting procedure, and the effects of gauge invariance and isospin on factorization are investigated.
