Abstract
By means of the formalism of Duffin and Kemmer there is constructed for mesons interacting with the electromagnetic field a theory that is manifestly Lorentz invariant and also gauge invariant and invariant under charge conjugation. The transformation to an interaction representation is accomplished by a procedure necessarily somewhat more complicated than that used by Schwinger for the quantum electrodynamics of electrons. The longitudinal components of the electromagnetic field are eliminated in a covariant manner.Keywords
