The norms of multimass states in relativistic quantum field theory

  • 1. Alberta Univ., Edmonton (Canada). Theoretical Physics Inst.

Description

We examined the problem of the appearance of negative norm states in multimass models. It is shown explicitly how the bound state with the same quantum numbers as the elementary meson, can acquire the positive norm. It is inferred from our argument that the multimass system of dynamical origin can be quantized without the negative norm, contrary to the multimass system of kinematical origin.
