An indefinite metric and perturbation theory. II

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The present paper is a refinement and elaboration of the ideas of [1] on the applicability of Feynman procedure in the nonlinear spinor theory of elementary particles. The possibilities of probabilistic interpretation in a scheme with an indefinite metric and of constructing a unitary physical scattering matrix are analyzed. The modified perturbation theory proposed in [1] is used to compute meson masses and meson-nucleon coupling constants. The results turn out to be physically satisfactory.
