"No-Interaction" Theorem
THEOREM. "No-Interaction" Theorem.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Suppose we seek a many-particle direct-interaction theory with the
following properties:
1. the theory is Lorentz invariant,
2. the theory is based on a Hamiltonian dynamics, and
3. the theory is based on independent (canonical) particle variables.
Then such a theory is only compatible with noninteracting particles.

An economical proof is given, in the Lagrangian framework, of the no-interaction theorem of relativistic particle mechanics. It is based on the assumption that there is a Lagrangian, which if singular is allowed to lead at most to primary first-class constraints. The proof works with Lagrange rather than Poisson brackets, leading to considerable simplifications compared to other proofs.
