Understanding the self-interaction of charged particles

Интерпретацня собственного взаимодействия заряженных частиц

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Nonlinear integro-differential equations are developed in a straightforward manner which includes the self-interaction of charged particles in quantum mechanics. The nonlinear terms which are due to the self-interactions can be arbitrarily small for some solutions and it is argued that these are the only solutions encountered in nature. These nonlinear terms, although arbitrarily small, make the system of equations unstable and correctly account for the spontaneous emission of radiation.

Riassunto

Si sviluppano equazioni non lineari integro differenziali in una maniera diretta che include l’autointerazione di particelle nella meccanica quantistica. I termini non lineari dovuti alle autointerazioni possono essere arbitrariamente piccoli per alcune soluzioni e si deduce che queste sono le sole solnizioni che si incontrano in natura. Questi termini non lineari, sebbene arbitrariamente piccoli rendono instabile il sistema di equazioni e spiegano correttamente l’emissione spontanea di radiazione.

Резюме

Выводятся нелинейные интегро-дифференциальные уравнения, которые включают собственное взаимодействие заряженных частуц в квантовой механике. Нелинейные члены, которые обусловлены собственными взаимодействиями, могут быть произвольно малыми для некоторых решений. Доказывается, что эти члены, хотя они произвольно малые, делают систему уравнений неустойчивой и корректно объясняют спонтанное излучение.
