Cancellation of unconventional terms in the planar bootstrap

Previous work has shown that in order for a planar pole bootstrap to exist without Regge cuts in the topological expansion the physical discontinuity across certain Reggeon amplitudes must have unconventional terms in its asymptotic behavior. Here we investigate whether such unconventional asymptotic terms enter self-consistently into the planar unitarity equation. We find, in fact, that such terms are actually needed in the unitarity equation to cancel heretofore overlooked contributions to unitarity.
