Interacting massless infraparticles in 1+1 dimensions

Abstract

The Buchholz' scattering theory of waves in two dimensional massless models suggests a natural definition of a scattering amplitude. We compute such a scattering amplitude for charged infraparticles that live in the GNS representation of the 2d massless scalar free field and obtain a non-trivial result. It turns out that these excitations exchange phases, depending on their charges, when they collide.
