Abstract
Relativistic quantum mechanics leads to the specification of initial and final conditions for the wave amplitudes and electromagnetic potentials. The interaction between one scalar charged particle and the electromagnetic field has previously been solved by perturbation expansions in the Coulomb gauge. Here the theory is extended to the Lorentz gauge, which requires a different set of initial or final conditions on the potentials.
