Description

The correspondence of the previously given relativistic quantum mechanics of spinless or spin 1/2 particle with the quantum nonrelativistic and the classical relativistic mechanics is proved. In the Galilean quantum case the appearance of the familiar transformation phase factor is explained and the origin of the mass superselection rule is indicated. In the relativistic classical case the equation for trajectories and the covariant equation of motion for spin are obtained. The conditions are found under which the usual theory of relativistic wave equations is of relevance (in some particular reference frame). 4 refs. (author)
