THE CONDITIONS FOR A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY TO BE RELATIVISTIC

Journal Article · · Reviews of Modern Physics (U.S.)
A quantum field theory in agreement with special relativity can be built up from the infinitesimal operators of translation and rotation. These operators are expressible in terms of a momentum density and an energy density. The momentum density is determined by the geometrical properties of the fields concerned. The energy density has to satisfy commutation relations for which certain conditions hold. (auth)
