Quantum dynamics of higher-derivative fields

Creators

Description

The generalized quantum field theory which follows from Lagrangians containing arbitrarily high-order derivatives is formulated in an indefinite metric space. Particular attention is given to conservation laws and canonical commutation relations. The Heisenberg equations of motion are derived.
