    The author states that mostly the Hamiltonian is assumed to be positive definite, but that indefinite Hamiltonians habe been used in various physical problems, e. g. gyroscopic Hamiltonian systems, particle generation in general relativity, quantization of certain fields. In this context the author studies transformations which preserve Poisson-brackets. Especially the author studies the electromagnetism-free Klein-Gordon equation. According to Dirac [Principles of quantum mechanics, 1 ed. (1930); p.7]: ''The only object of theoretical physics is to calculate results that can be compared with experiment''. The present paper does not seem to fulfil Diracs criterion.
