Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to give a physical interpretation to the covariant harmonic oscillator formalism by incorporating Dirac’s ideas on relativistic quantum mechanics. Dirac’s form of relativistic quantum mechanics serves a very useful purpose in understanding Lorentz deformation properties of relativistic extended hadrons, such as hadrons in the quark model.
