Abstract

Herein, the Dirac equation is compared with the Klein-Gordon equation. In contrast to the Dirac case, it is proved that the Klein-Gordon equation has di?culties with the Hamiltonian di?erential operator of relativistic quantum mechanics and with the de?nition of an inner product of wave functions, which is a requirement for a construction of a Hilbert space. An added discussion of the Pauli-Weisskopf article and that of Feshbach-Villars proves that their theories lack a self-consistent expression for the Hamiltonian. Related di?culties are pointed out.
