Abstract:
On the basis of the requirement that the wave function of a massless particle be completely determined by the 4-momentum of the particle it is shown that the wave function of the particle satisfies certain linear equations, which may have either finitely or infinitely many components. These equations can also be obtained by requiring that the helicity of the massless particle be invariant under transformations of the proper Lorentz group.
