Summary
A canonical theory of relativistic interactions is formulated on the basis of Whittaker equations and the physical inconsistency of the no-interaction theorem is shown. Three model Hamiltonians forN + 1 interacting particles are studied. Finally it is briefly considered the case of a charged particle in an external electromagnetic field.
Riassunto
Si formula sulla base delle equazioni di Whittaker una teoria canonica per le interazioni relativistiche e si mostra l’inconsistenza fisica del teorema di non interazione. Si studiano tre modelli di hamiltoniana perN + 1 particelle interagenti. Infine si considera brevemente il caso di una particella carica in un campo elettromagnetico esterno.
Реэюме
На основе уравнений Уиттекера формулируется каноническая теория релятивиствких вэаимодействий. Отмечается фиэическая противоречивость теоремы от отсутствии вэаимодействия. Исследуются три модельных Гамильтониана дляN + 1 вэаимодействуюшей частицы. В эаключение рассматривается случай эаряженной частицы во внещнем злектромагнитном поле.
