Relativistic wave equations with fractional derivatives and pseudodifferential operators (Q700927): Difference between revisions

Summary: We study the class of the free relativistic covariant equations generated by the fractional powers of the d'Alembertian operator \((\square^{1/n})\). The equations corresponding to \(n=1\) and \(2\) (Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations) are local in their nature, but the multicomponent equations for arbitrary \(n>2\) are nonlocal. We show the representation of the generalized algebra of Pauli and Dirac matrices and how these matrices are related to the algebra of \(\text{SU}(n)\) group. The corresponding representations of the Poincaré group and further symmetry transformations on the obtained equations are discussed. The construction of the related Green functions is suggested.
