Why this formula appears here
Two invariances follow immediately, and one does not. does not change if a trajectory is described using a different auxiliary curve parameter before being converted to proper time — proper time itself is not a gauge choice, it is the arc length of the worldline, fixed by the metric once the trajectory and the metric are fixed, so there is no freedom here to exploit. also does not change under a Poincaré transformation applied identically to both worldlines and to the field vacuum together, since W is Poincaré invariant and , , and are all defined intrinsically along each worldline. What does change , and is meant to, is any actual…
