Abstract
The proper frame for the discussion of relativistic effects in many-electron systems is quantum electrodynamics. A system of Dirac particles, which interact by the exchange of photons and move in a specified external electromagnetic field is characterised by the standard Lagrangian density (see, e.g., Bjorken and Drell, 1965)
