Abstract
A fermion field is investigated with the interaction Lagrangian density equal to . This point interaction is considered as a limit of an extended one, where it is supposed that the interaction vanishes if the momentum of a particle exceeds and/or if the momentum transferred in a collision of two particles exceeds . The relation between and is such as to make the quantity arbitrarily small as and . This choice of the limiting procedure considerably simplifies the investigation of the theory. It is shown that in the limit , , the physical interaction between particles vanishes in all types of four-fermion interactions. The case of two interacting fields and with different isotopic spin is also considered. Going over to the local theory, the physical interaction vanishes in this case as well.
