Abstract

The Relativistic Schrödinger Theory (RST) is applied to a system of N particles with electromagnetic interactions. The gauge group is U(1) × U(1)... × U(1). By exploiting the mathematical structure of fibre bundles, the energy-momentum content of the gauge field can be defined in such a way that no infinite self-energy of point charges can arise. However, the picture of classical point particles becomes insufficient in any case in view of the exchange and overlap effects occurring in RST. The presence of overlap currents seems to be necessary to remedy certain pathological features of the classical point-particle theories.PACS Nos.: 03.65Pm, 03.65Ge, 03.65Ta
