It is shown that the quantization of electrodynamics, which begins with a given Lagrangian and ends by perturbative calculation of scattering probability amplitudes, can be performed in the way that does not employ Poincar\\'e symmetry of space--time at any stage. Also, the causal structure is not needed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-11-12T16:09:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generalized dirac bracket", "canonical quantization", "employ poincare symmetry", "first part", "dirac field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 877356, "adsabs": "2010arXiv1011.2968K" } } }
