On the quantization of a unitary field theory

RJ Finkelstein - Physical Review, 1949 - APS
In a unitary field theory particles appear not as singularities but as small volumes in which
energy and charge of the field are concentrated. In a theory of this nature, which is …

Canonical variables for general relativity

R Arnowitt, S Deser, CW Misner - Physical Review, 1960 - APS
The general theory of relativity is cast into normal Hamiltonian form in terms of two pairs of
independent conjugate field variables. These variables are explicitly exhibited and obey …

Motion in a constant magnetic field

MH Johnson, BA Lippmann - Physical Review, 1949 - APS
The motion of a charged particle in a constant magnetic field is treated in both relativistic and
non-relativistic quantum theory. Operators representing the center of the orbit, which obey …
