Abstract

The Lorentz scalar interaction gives rise to a fourth component of the relativistic four-force which has a different form than that of the vector interaction, the difference arising from the variable mass for particles interacting through the scalar potential as compared to the constant mass for particles interacting through the vector potential. The Lorentz scalar potential, with its pedagogically interesting dynamics, is rarely mentioned in intermediate-level or first-year, graduate-level textbooks.
