Position operators and transformation properties of a relativistic Hamiltonian theory for any spin
Description
It is shown that a position operator that naturally emerges from a recent description of particles of any spin makes a Lorentz-invariant interpretation of position possible without the need of a time operator. This is achieved without renouncing the possibility of measuring different components simultaneously. Explicit formulae for finite Lorentz transformations of the wave functions are also given.
