The Lienard-Wiechert Potential of Charged Scalar Particles and their Relation to Scalar Electrodynamics in the Rest-Frame Instant Form

After a summary of a recently proposed new type of instant form of dynamics (the Wigner-covariant rest-frame instant form), the reduced Hamilton equations in the covariant rest-frame Coulomb gauge for the isolated system of N scalar particles with pseudoclassical Grassmann-valued electric charges plus the electromagnetic field are studied. The Lienard-Wiechert potentials of the particles are evaluated and it is shown how the causality problems of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation are solved at the pseudoclassical level. Then, the covariant rest-frame description of scalar electrodynamics is given. Applying to it the Feshbach-Villars formalism, the connection with the particle plus electromagnetic field system is found.
