· Nuovo Cimento (Italy) Divided into Nuovo Cimento A and Nuovo Cimento B
It is shown that while the Lorentz transformation operates in a space with an indefinite Lorentz invariant metric, the Foldy transformation operates in a space with a positive definite euclidean metric. This correspondence is extended to any spin. A particular discussion is given for the spin 1 case, for which a hamiltonian equation is proposed. (auth)
