Time and Observables in Covariant Quantum Theory

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2020-01-27 v1

Abstract

A modification of the covariant theory is proposed in which the self-energy of the system, corresponding to time-like degrees of freedom in the configuration space, preserves the classical law of change in quantum theory. As a result, proper time in covariant quantum theory takes on a dynamic meaning. As applications of the new formalism, a modification of the relativistic quantum mechanics of a scalar particle and a homogeneous model of the universe is considered.
