✦ Synopsis

We show that the equivalence theorem as is usually stated is valid only within the scheme of perturbation theory. New conditions have to be imposed on the theorem to make it valid in a nonperturbative context. Implications for a nonperturbative quantization of gravitation as also quantization of gauge theories in the unitary gauge are discussed.

In a paper published by Langer in 1949 it was shown that the eigenvalues X of a rotating harmonic oscillator, containing a parameter oi < 1, are given by the formula X = v + O(a In cc), where v is an integer. In the present paper it is shown that Langer's estimate is too rough; the correct formula i
