Probabilistically interpretable field theories with an indefinite metric

Теории поля с индефинитной метрикой

Abstract

Methods of constructing “physical”S-matrices are investigated in field theories with an indefinite metric which are not immediately probabilistically interpretable. Procedures are proposed leading to physicalS-matrices through equations which make possible the probabilistical interpretation for each time instant. The physicalS-matrices thus constructed, however, do not fulfil the causality requirement.

Резюме

В работе изучается составление „физических”S-матриц в случае теорий поля с индефинитной метрикой, которые непосредственно не имеют вероятностей интерпретации. Предлагаются приемы, которые приводят к физической матрице с помощью уравнений, вероятностная интерпретация которых в любой момент времени возможна. Полученные таким образомS-матрицы, однако, не удовлетворяют требованию причинности.
