I faced difficulties to grasp why indefinite metric is introduced from no where in QE, after searching internet I found that this is a problem in QE, because one needs it to preserve theory's covariance, and to solve ultraviolet divergence problem, but in the same time it raise other different problems such as negative probabilities, and even from mathematical point of view that it's can't be introduced a proper topology for a Hilbert space with such metric. (those point I get from "Progress of theoretical Physics No. 51, 1972 by N. Nakanishi")

Thus those information may be old, I would like to know the official (main stream) position of this problem, and if it considered as solved, especially that there is some papers that refuses this kind of metric and some usual books on QE doesn't mention it all what makes me even more confused.
