The Counting of Generalized Polarizabilities

Abstract

We demonstrate a concise method to enumerate the number of generalized polarizabilities---quantities characterizing the independent observables in singly-virtual Compton scattering---for a target particle of arbitrary spin s. By using crossing symmetry and JPC conservation, we show that this number is (10s+1+deltas,0).
