IntroductionWe perceive the physical world as a collection of objects, in
a three-dimensional space of coordinates defined by a position vector zyx zyxr 111
++= , and in time, defined by a scalar t [1-5]. For a matter object we define an inertial property called mass, 0M and a dynamic quantity as the product of the mass
with the velocity, trv
dd
= , called momentum, vMp
0= . We
also define a conservative quantity, called energy,
( ) ( ) ( )rUpTprHE
+== ,0 (1.1)
as a sum of the kinetic energy ( )pT , which depends on momentum, and the potential energy ( )rU , which depends on the coordinates [6-8]. From the conservation condition:

is called Hamiltonian. However, this classical description tells us nothing about the structure of the physical world. Only Quantum Mechanics tells us something about the structure of this world. Namely, that this world is composed of species of identical quantum particles. On one hand, experimentally, it
has been found that these particles are of a wavy nature. On the other hand, one could find that the simplest way to define a quantum particle is by a wave packet, with momenta conjugated to coordinates and energy conjugated to time, with a single quantum constant

However, when the group velocities are calculated for the wave packets (1.5), which with (1.1) are of the form
We consider a quantum particle as a wave packet, and find that the group velocities in the coordinate and momentum spaces are in agreement with the Hamilton equations only when the Lagrangian is considered in the time dependent phases, instead of the Hamiltonian in the conventional forms of these waves as solutions of the Schrödinger equation. We define a relativistic quantum principle, and derive a wave equation for a relativistic quantum particle, the relativistic kinematics and dynamics of the particle waves, the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force of a field interacting with the particle waves, the relativistic transform of such a field, and the spin as a characteristic of the particle waves. We consider a quantum particle as a distribution of conservative matter propagating according to the General Theory of Relativity. We obtain the dynamics of this matter in a gravitational field, the propagation in plane waves perpendicular to geodesic tracks, and equations of conservation.

waves. In section 3, we consider a quantum particle in a field described by a scalar potential conjugated to time, and a vector potential conjugated to coordinates. We obtain the Lagrange equation as the velocity of the particle waves, the Lorentz force, and the Maxwell equations. In section 4, based on the Relativistic Quantum Principle, we obtain the dynamics of a quantum particle in electromagnetic field. In section 5, from the invariance of the time dependent phase of a quantum particle at an arbitrary change of coordinates, we obtain the relativistic transform of the electromagnetic field. In section 6, we obtain a relativistic equation for the quantum particle waves, show that the solution of the Schrödinger equation is only the amplitude of the wave function of a quantum particle, which also includes a rapidly varying factor depending on the particle rest mass, and derive the spin of a quantum particle wave. In section 7, we consider the inversion of two particles as a double rotation of these particles, and obtain the spin-statistic relation. In section 8, we consider a coordinate deformation according to the Theory of General Relativity, and obtain the dynamics of the particle waves in gravitational field. In section 9, we consider the particle waves as a distribution of matter described by a density and a velocity field, and find that these waves are perpendicular to the geodesic tracks. We derive an invariant for the matter density of a quantum particle, and an equation of conservation of this matter. Section 10 is for conclusions.
Relativistic Kinematics and DynamicsA realistic particle has a finite spectrum as a function of the wave
propagation velocity. A finite spectrum is obtained for a relativistic Lagrangian. According to (1.15), the invariance of the scalar time dependent phase variation ( )0L r dt
of a quantum particle wave function is equivalent to the invariance of the space-time interval ds. For such a particle, we obtain the momentum,

as functions of the particle velocity r and the cut-off velocity c. The invariance of the space-time interval means that a change of coordinates is in fact a rotation of the space-time coordinates (Figure 1).
By a well-known calculation, the relativistic transform of the coordinate intervals is obtained for the quantum particle waves. Thus, from the coordinate transform,

From (1.15), we notice that the invariance of the space-time interval of the Theory of Relativity is equivalent to the invariance of the time dependent phase variation of a quantum particle, and define a Relativistic Quantum Principle: The scalar tim-dependent phase variation of a quantum particle wave is an invariant for an arbitrary change of coordinates. On this basis, in section 2 we obtain the relativistic transform of the space-time coordinates, and the relativistic dynamics of the particle

with a mechanical component depending on the particle mass and velocity, and an electromagnetic component as the product of the particle charge with the vector potential. For a quantum particle in a field we consider again the relativistic quantum principle: The time dependent phase variation of a quantum particle is the same in any system of coordinates.

It is interesting that by the hypothetical relation (3.17), we obtain a field propagating in waves with a velocity 00/1 µε , in agreement with the electromagnetic theory. For the physical consistency, this velocity takes the limit value of the velocity of the quantum particle waves (Figure 3):

Otherwise, an electromagnetic field not interacting with a quantum particle, or a quantum particle not interacting with any electromagnetic field could exist, which is contradictory to our basic hypothesis of the particle-field interaction.

ConclusionWe discovered that a packet of Schrödinger wave functions,
representing a quantum particle, is not in agreement with the Hamilton equations which describe the dynamics of such a particles – such an agreement is obtained only when instead of the Hamiltonian we consider the Lagrangian function. For a realistic particle, which must have a finite spectrum, we considered the relativistic Lagrangian, with a cut-off velocity c. We defined a Relativistic Quantum Principle: The time-dependent phase of a quantum particle is invariant to any change of coordinates. We obtained a wave equation for a quantum particle, depending on velocity, while the conventional Schrödinger equation describes only the amplitude of the particle wave-function - it includes a rapidly varying factor, with a phase proportional to the particle rest mass. On this basis, the relativistic kinematics and dynamics, the electromagnetic field equations, the particle spin, and the Schwarzschild-Newtonian dynamics in a gravitational field have been obtained. A quantum particle has been described by a wave function representing a distribution of conservative matter in motion, according to the General Theory of Relativity.
