Abstract
Commutation rules for the Pauli-Fierz equation are given in the “parametric” form. The Hamiltonian and subsidiary conditions for a free particle are derived. The two subsidiary conditions are in a form which expresses that an operator and its time derivative applied to the wave function give zero. The practical applicability of the formalism of “parametric” commutation rules for special computations is verified by an example of the magnetic moment.
