A Vector-Spinor Bootstrap as an Identity

Abstract

It has been shown in the first non-trivial approximation that the Langrangian field theory of spin 1/2 fermions and neutral vector mesons interacting through a conserved current has the apparently miraculous property that the "elementary" spinor particle lies on a Regge trajectory. We would like to point out here that this feature of the spinor-vector field theory, if it is in fact exactly true, also has interesting implications when phrased in terms of "S-matrix theory", in which it is assumed that there are no elementary objects and that all particles are created by a "bootstrap mechanism".
