ResumoAbstract A variant of the theory put forth by H.R. Coish 1) is considered. Two additional quantum numbers are shown to arise in this theory. The selection rules obeyed by them make it possible to forbid the conversion of barions into leptons and the neutrino-less decay of muons into electrons. Combined inversion is found to be the only possible law of transformation of wave functions in the case of space reflections, provided Wigner's transformation law is accepted for time inversions. The spinor field theory proves to be essentially two-component. These results as well as the quantization of electric charge obtained in ref. 1) are a consequence solely of the finiteness of the space-time manifold, ruling out divergencies.
