Finite Quantum Electrodynamics - The Causal Approach

The author analyses the role of the concept of causality in Quantum Electrodynamics. The book begins with Dirac's theory in part one, followed in part two by the quantum theory of free fields including a new approach to the concept of exterior fields. The third part is devoted to the study of the S-matrix of QED avoiding ultraviolet divergence.
The most important physical results of QED are derived, and significant themes such as unitarity and renormalizability of the theory are discussed. This book addresses graduate students in physics.
