Abstract:

A method of quantization which is applicable to finite and infinite component fields with arbitrary mass spectra, is proposed. It is based on analyticity of the propagators, and has no recourse to the canonical formalism. Causality and the relativistic covariance are manifest from the outset. It appears that, according to our method, a local field theory is possible by starting not with Lagrangians but with analytic propagators. Various properties related to complex poles of the propagators are briefly discussed.
