β¦ Synopsis
In this third volume of three, quantum electrodynamics is formulated in the language of physical βdressed" particles. A theory where charged particles interact via instantaneous action-at-a-distance forces is constructed - without need for renormalization. This theory describes electromagnetic phenomena in terms of directly interacting charges, but in full accord with fundamental principles of relativity and causality.

In a successful theory of elementary particles, at least three important conditions must be fulfilled: (1) relativistic invariance in the instant form of dynamics; (2) cluster separability of the interaction; (3) description of processes involving creation and destruction of particles. In the f
