Relativistic Hamiltonians are defined as the sum of relativistic one-body kinetic energy, two- and three-body potentials and their boost corrections. In this work we use the variational Monte Carlo method to study two kinds of relativistic…

There is no relativistic Hamiltonian for many particles systems except for free particles and this has been accepted since the 1960s from the work of Currie, Jordan and Sudarshan, Cannon and Jordan, and Leutwyler. This is the problem we…
Relativistic systems of particles interacting pairwise at a distance (interactions not mediated by fields) in flat spacetime are studied. It is assumed that the interactions propagate at the speed of light in vacuum and that all masses are…
