Abstract
The possibility of the existence of an infinite family of Lorentz poles is investigated using a dynamical model. For spinless scalar particles (mass ) scattering via the exchange of another spinless scalar particle (mass ), the Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved in two limiting cases, and . In both cases it is shown that the projected amplitude is meromorphic in (the four-dimensional angular momentum) and that there are an infinite number of poles in the plane.
