We choose a laboratory observer that describes the two-particle system in their common center of mass frame, then the CM of the two particles is at rest and located at the origin of the reference frame.
Since the Lagrangian (13) is invariant under space translations, the total linear momentum is conserved and the motion of the particles is such that, in the Coulomb interaction,(t) = −(t) and (t) = −(t) .
In the Poincaré invariant interaction)(t)+ )(t) = 0 holds but = 0 does not imply that (t) = −(t). This requirement will be explicitly determined in the analysis of this interaction in section 8.
Ifand are the time and position of the CC of one of the particles for the center of mass observer of this particle, and t and are the time and position of the CC for any arbitrary inertial observer, they are related by the Poincaré transformation: (Part I.Section4)
