Abstract: (Springer)
We introduce the notion of singly localized states and use it to characterize the one-particle states as those states which are singly localized at all times. For theories which satisfy the Haag-Swieca compactness criterion, we show that a state has a discrete mass spectrum if and only if it is a “geometrical one-particle state”.
