Abstract

In order to investigate the Gupta-Bleuler theory of the quantum electrodynamics from another point of view, one method is given which transforms the conventional metric to a new tensor byR-matrix and allows a canonical formalism that avoids the difficulty of making the momentum of the scalar photon identically vanish. As a consequence a general eigenstate of the pure radiation field is given in contrast to Gupta-Bleuler's. The expectation value of the subsidiary condition for the ghost state, corresponding to the Lorentz condition in the classical theory, vanishes.
