Nonuniqueness of the Energy Correction in Application of the WKB Approximation to Radial Problems
An infinite set of transformations is given that convert a radial energy-eigenvalue problem into a 1-dimensional problem. Langer's transformations are included in this set. The transformations introdu...

Massive Vector Field: Covariant Definition of Independent Components and Quantization
A new approach to the theory of the vector field is presented in which inelegant features like negative terms in the energy do not make an appearance at any stage. All components of the field are hand...

We consider the problem of determining whether a given ``particle'' is elementary or is some member of a degenerate multiplet corresponding to an exact symmetry. We discuss a double-scattering experiment which can make this determination unless the members of the multiplet are unable to distinguish one another. Finally, such an inability is shown to be incompatible with the usual relation between spin and statistics and known analyticity properties of scattering amplitudes for strongly interacting particles.
