Relativity, symmetry, and the structure of quantum theory. Volume 2, Point form relativistic quantum mechanics /
This book covers relativistic quantum theory from the point of view of a particle theory, based on the irreducible representations of the Poincaré group, the group that expresses the symmetry of Einstein relativity. There are several ways of formulating such a theory; this book develops what is cal...
