The new quantum mechanics, when applied to the problem of the structure of the atom with
point-charge electrons, does not give results in agreement with experiment. The …

In a previous paper by the author* it is shown that the general theory of quantum mechanics
together with relativity require the wave equation for an electron moving in an arbitrary …

The relativity quantum theory of an electron moving in a given electromagnetic field,
although successful in predicting the spin properties of the electron, yet involves one serious …

In the theory of the electromagnetic field without charges, the potentials are not fixed by the
field, but are subject to gauge transformations. The theory thus involves more dynamical …

Dirac's' theory of the electron starts out with the following premises:(a) The wave-
equationmust be linear in form,(b) the equation must satisfy the requirements of special …

The general theory of quantum mechanics is now almost complete, the imperfections that
still remain being in connection with the exact fitting in of the theory with relativity ideas …

IT seems that Abraham¢ w-as the first to consider in any detail an electron with an axis.
Many have since consid~ red spinning electrons, ring electrons, and the like. Compton:~ in …

Although the classical electrodynamic theory meets with a considerable amount of success
in the description of many atomic phenomena, it fails completely on certain fundamental …

In this paper we develop Dirac's suggestions for the interpretation of his theory of the
electron to give a consistent theory of electrons and positives. In Section 1, we discuss the …

Nearly all of this book is taken from an article prepared for a volume of the Encyclopedia of
Physics. This article, in turn, is partly based on Dr. Norbert Rosenzweig's translation of an …
