Abstract

This paper deals with the relativistic, quantized electromagnetic and Dirac field equations in the arena of discrete phase space and continuous time. The mathematical formulation involves partial difference equations. In the consequent relativistic quantum electrodynamics, the corresponding Feynman diagrams and S#-matrix elements are derived. In the special case of electron-electron scattering (Møller scattering), the explicit second-order element fS(2)# i is deduced. Moreover, assuming the slow motions for two external electrons, the approximation of fS(2)# i yields a divergence-free Coulomb potential.
