## Summary

In this comprehensive work by H. Nikolic, the focus is on the Bohmian interpretation of relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and string theory. The author presents a thorough overview of recent achievements in these areas, highlighting key advancements in the field. One significant contribution discussed is the development of relativistic-covariant Bohmian equations for particle trajectories. This addresses the challenge of incorporating relativity into the Bohmian framework and provides a deeper understanding of quantum phenomena at high speeds and energies. Another important aspect covered in this work is the exploration of particle creation and destruction within the Bohmian interpretation. By delving into this issue, Nikolic sheds light on how particles emerge and vanish in quantum processes, offering valuable insights into fundamental aspects of quantum theory. Furthermore, the author discusses the Bohmian interpretation of fermionic fields, providing a unique perspective on how these fields can be understood within the context of Bohmian mechanics. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of fermions and their behavior in quantum systems. Additionally, Nikolic explores intrinsically Bohmian quantization of fields and strings based on De Donder-Weyl covariant canonical formalism. This approach offers a novel way to quantize fields and strings within the Bohmian framework, opening up new possibilities for studying these complex systems.
