In this chapter, the interactions with radiation in the so-called calculation with retardation (i.e., the fact that the action of an external plane wave is taken into account) is studied. The relativistic processing of this last problem has been considered for a long time as difficult, but we think that the pure geometrical methods used here allow one to avoid a large part of the difficulties.
