Abstract

The Bethe-Salpeter equation for the triplet amplitude in the intermediate-vector-boson theory of weak interactions is shown to have a unique solution in configuration space; the solution has an essential singularity at the light cone, and does not have a Fourier transform. If the neutrino mass is zero, there exists a prescription that "regularizes" the amplitude to zero on the mass shell.
