Abstract
Zisman-Stueckelberg-Feynman (ZSF) interpretation, by describing antiparticles as negative-energy particles evolving backward in ordinary time, makes relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) covariant, but relativistic theory was not agreed with it. Consistent agreement with ZSF interpretation led to the time-symmetric relativity theory (TSRT) (Article 1). In TSRT, relativity principle is extended to rest frames of negative-energy particles going into lower light cone, and symmetry group is extended to the general Lorentz group O(1,3) with 4-inversion. In this article, a time-symmetric RQM (TS RQM) based on TSRT is formulated. The states of negative-energy particles in their rest frames are transformed into usual frames with reflecting time axis. In Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, translational symmetry leads to a general relativistic wave equation for components of wave function of any free particle with a quadratic Hamiltonian. Using in it relativistic relationship between energy and momentum gives Klein-Gordon equation, which yields a general average of 4-momentum and general probability current, time components of which describe currents in both directions of time axis and are negative at negative energy. Special wave equations with first time derivative (Duffin-Kemmer-Petiou for spins 0 and 1, and Dirac for spin 1/2) account for mixing of wave function components due to spin and interactions. In TSRT, 4-vector currents change sign upon 4-inversion, which improves theories of bosons and fermions, eliminating former paradoxes and errors. Time-symmetric transition amplitudes in propagator approach lead to causal propagators and usual diagram technique. Total energy of system of particles in loop diagrams creates external gravitational field, which slows down proper times relative to world time until they freeze at Planck length, gravitational radius of system. This leads to gravitational regularization of loop diagrams, making them finite, and fields of Standard Model (except for scalar field) and quantum gravity renormalizable. Quantization of fields in TSRT is described in Article 3.
