Abstract
It is shown that the commutators of quantized field theories are not uniquely determined by the specification of the Hamiltonian and the field equations and the requirement of Lorentz invariance. However, this lack of uniqueness cannot be used to obtain a high frequency cut-off as in the non-relativistic case.Keywords
