1. An incomplete list of papers devoted to this aspect of gauge-invariance is,e.g.:L. D. Landau andI. M. Khalatnikov:Žurn. Ėksp. Teor. Fiz.,29, 89 (1955);N. N. Bogoliubov andD. V. Shirkov:Introduction to the Theory of Quantized Fields, (Moscow 1957; New York, 1959)Ch. VII;L. Evans, G. Feldman andP. T. Matthews:Ann. Phys. (N.Y.),13, 268 (1961);H. Rollnik:Zeits. Phys.,161, 370 (1961).
2. Seee.g. H. Ekstein:Phys. Rev.,120, 1917 (1960) andNuovo Cimento,23, 606 (1962). To the author’s knowledge, doubled ray-representations of the Lorentz group were apparently first used byI. M. Gel’fand andM. Tseitlin:Žurn. Ėksp. Teor. Fiz.,36, 1109 (1956) in an attempt to solve the tau-theta paradox. However, such representations seem to have been known toBargmann, Wightman andWigner (unpublished notes on the Lorentz group). A brief discussion can be found inWightman’s lectures inRelations de dispersion et particules élémentaires (ed. byde Witt andOmnès) (New York, 1960), p. 163, and also in the book byGel’fand, Minlos andShapiro:Representations of the rotation group and of the Lorentz group (in Russian) (Moscow, 1958).
3. Seee.g. M. E. Mayer:Nuovo Cimento,11, 760 (1959), where references to previous work can be found. An exhaustive bibliography on the gauge approach to vector mesons can be found in the critical paper ofOgievetskii andPolubarinov:Proceedings of the 1962 Conference on High-Energy Physics at CERN (Geneva, 1962).
