Summary
The quantum mechanics of the relativistic material point is discussed in the light of some recent ideas, developed for the study of the interacting string model. In accordance with these ideas the interaction among the particles is introduced in a geometrical way, but we also show how to interpret such an interaction as due to an external field. The same considerations are briefly applied to the string model.
Riassunto
Nel presente lavoro si discute la meccanica quantistica del punto materiale relativistico, alla luce di alcune idee recentemente sviluppate in connessione con lo studio del modello della corda relativistica interagente. In accordo con queste idee si introduce in modo geometrico l’interazione tra le varie particelle, ma si mostra anche che può essere reinterpretata come dovuta ad un campo esterno. Le stesse considerazioni si applicano brevemente al modello della corda relativistica.
Реэюме
Обсуждается квантовая механика релятивистской материальной точки в свете недавних идей, предложенных для исследования модели вэаимодействуюшей струны. В соответствии с зтими идеями, вэаимодействие между частицами вводится геометрическим обраэом. Также покаэывается, как интерпретировать такое вэаимодействие в виде внещнего поля. Укаэанные рассуждения применяются к модели струны.
