Of these properties, causality plays a key role in the method of Epstein<br />
and Glaser. Equation (5.4) leads to the condition stated in the following<br />
theorem.<br />
Theorem 5.1. If {x1, . . . , xm} > {xm+1, . . . , xn}, then<br />
Tn(x1, . . . , xn) = Tm(x1, . . . , xm)Tn−m(xm+1, . . . , xn),<br />
Before proving this result we first note that if (5.4) is satisfied,<br />
