Phenomenology of orbital angular momentum in relativistic multi-particle systems — •Walter Smilga — Geretsried, Germany

An isolated system of N independent particles can be described quantum mechanically by a simultaneous eigenstate of the total linear and angular momenta. An essential constituent of the angular momentum is the orbital angular momentum. Its eigenstates give an isolated multi-particle system an internal quantum mechanical structure. For N = 2, this structure defines an interaction with the strength of the electromagnetic interaction; for large N, an approximation for large quantum numbers leads to a theory of gravity that does not require dark matter.
