✦ Synopsis

Relativistic single particle theories are presented from the point of view of the bra-ket formalism of Dirac. Not only does this give a coherent and unified formulation of the theory but through it we are also able to understand clearly the relationship between and meaning of the different forms of amplitudes and of the position operator that exist in the literature.
