Publication Abstract: In this work we develop a Lorentz-covariant version of the previously derived formalism for relating finite-volume matrix elements to 2 + J ? 2 transitions. We also give various details relevant for the implementation of this formalism in a realistic numerical lattice QCD calculation. Particular focus is given to the role of single-particle form factors (1 + J ? 1 transitions) in disentangling finite-volume effects from the triangle diagram that arises when J couples to one of the two hadrons. This also leads to a new finite-volume function, denoted G, the numerical evaluation of which is described in detail. As an example we discuss the determination of the ?? + J ? ?? amplitude in the ? channel, for which the single-pion form factor, F?(Q2), as well as the scattering phase, ???, are required to remove all power-law finite-volume effects. The formalism presented here holds for local currents with arbitrary Lorentz structure, and we give specific examples of insertions with up to two Lorentz indices.
