Abstract
The description of the electromagnetic interaction of charged spinless particles is usually formulated by the Scalar Quantum Electrodynamics. However, there is an alternative formulation given by the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory: the Scalar DKP gauge theory. The proof of the equivalence between these two formulations has been discussed in many researches, but there is not yet a conclusive proof. In this paper, we initiate a complete proof in the framework of the Causal Perturbation theory, showing that both scalar formulations provide the same results for the differential cross-section at tree level.
