✦ Synopsis
We associate with an arbitrary system its Poincare observables. In supposing that its interaction is governed by a Hamiltonian formalism and in imposing Lorentz invariance, we show that the evolution is described by two equations which have the form of the Lorentz equation and the Thomas-Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation, respectively. In order to determine how the generators (M_{\mu v}) and (P_{\mu}) of the Poincare group are evoluting, we are obliged to examine the problem of the position observable. 1994 Academic Press. Inc
