Abstract

Old-fashioned perturbation theory is applied to a relativistic theory in a reference frame with infinite total momentum. It is found that many undesirable diagrams disappear. The contribution of the remaining diagrams is described by a new set of rules with properties intermediate between those of Feynman diagrams and old-fashioned diagrams, e.g., energy denominators become covariant, and Feynman parameters appear naturally. The new rules are used to derive some integral equations.
