This book introduces notation, terminology, and basic ideas of relativistic quantum theories. The discussion proceeds systematically from the principle of relativity and postulates of quantum logics to the construction of Poincaré invariant few-particle models of interaction and scattering. It is the first of three volumes formulating a consistent relativistic quantum theory of interacting charged particles. Contents Quantum logic Poincaré group Quantum mechanics and relativity Observables Elementary particles Interaction Scattering Delta function Groups and vector spaces Group of rotations Lie groups and Lie algebras Hilbert space Operators Subspaces and projections Representations of groups and algebras Pseudo-orthogonal representation of Lorentz group Skryť popis
