Summary
The calculation of the radiation term in the case of single poles is carried out in the framework of a Lorentz-invariant theory including gravitational and inertial masses. A comparison with electrodynamics shows the relationship between the roles of the charge and of the gravitational mass in the renormalization formulas. The radiation terms are similar to those which were obtained in general relativity with the «fast approximation» method. But the disagreement with the experiment and the consequences of the «fast approximation» method are avoided in this Lorentz-invariant theory.
Riassunto
Si esegue il calcolo del termine radiativo nel caso di poli singoli nello schema di una teoria invariante di Lorentz che include masse gravitazionali ed inerziali. Il confronto con l'elettrodinamica mostra la relazione fra il ruolo della carica e quello della massa gravitazionale nelle formule di rinormalizzazione. I termini radiativi sono simili a quelli che sono stati ottenuti nella relatività generale con il metodo dell' «approssimazione rapida». Ma in questa teoria invariante secondo Lorentz si evitano la discordanza con i dati sperimentali e le conseguenze del metodo dell' «approssimazione rapida».

ϰ is an unnecessary constant which eventually allows χ to be assigned the classical value 4πG. In fact, the formulation depends only upon two independent constants: χ andk.
It must be pointed out thatHavas (ref. (6)) assumesh=1 and introduces, as in Belinfante's theory, a supplementary term of interaction. On the contrary, the results ofHavas andGoldberg (5) obtained by the fast-approximation method, in the framework of general relativity, implyh=2.
