Abstract

A new theory of quantum electrodynamics is presented, which is relativistically invariant, gauge invariant, unitary, and free of divergences. In this theory, mass renormalization, charge renormalization, and wavefunction renormalization are all finite. Experimental consequences are discussed, and theoretical implications, especially those related to causality, are analyzed.
