A method for treating the Hilbert space with an indefinite metric operator is given. Any transformation of state vectors and operators appearing in physics is generated by a "pseudo-unitary operator". For such transformations two kinds of transformation properties, "covariant" and "con travariant ", are considered, just like in the case of the Lorentz transformations in the Minkowski space. It is shown that the difficulty of the Lorentz non-invariance of Gupta's theory in the quantum…
