Abstract
By replacing sharp with stochastic localizability, positive-definite and covariant probability densities yielding conserved and covariant probability currents can be introduced in relativistic quantum mechanics. The resulting stochastic phase-space formalism can be used to construct covariant models of extended spin 0 and 1/2 particles, whose interaction with an external electromagnetic field leaves the space of positive-energy wave functions invariant.
