title: On Local Quantum Field Theory with a New Universal High Energy Scale
abstract: For the first time I met Mag (under this name Matey was known to his relatives and friends) in 1966 in Yalta, where an International School on Theoretical Physics was held. A year later I was invited to ICTP, Trieste, where Mag had already been staying for several months. For about half a year we had intensively worked together on a three-dimensional formulation of a relativistic two-particle problem in quantum field theory (QFT). Since then, our scientific and friendly contacts had not been int
