Choose the zero of energy so that the translation-invariant vacuum state has . A one-particle state of rest mass obeys the relativistic energy-momentum relationThe translation covariance of a quantum field in c remains valid for the full interacting four-momentum operator. Acting its exponential functions on the two momentum eigenstates givesHere . A different additive vacuum energy must be subtracted consistently from both energy eigenvalues before identifying the physical .
