Quantum mechanics in Dirac's front form

In 1949 Dirac published a paper in which he proposed various ways to combine special relativity with the Hamiltonian formulation of dynamics; these were referred toas forms and three differentforms, theinstant, thepoint, and thefront forms, were discussed. Dirac considered thefront form to be mathematically the most interesting. Despite this, thefront form appears to have been the least explored. This paper presents the results of a study of quantum mechanics in thefront form.
