DERIVATIVES WITH TWISTS
For \(e^{ikx}\) with \(k\) and \(x\) real, it is evident that \(\frac{1}{i}\frac{d}{dx}e^{ikx} = ke^{ikx}\) and for a positive integer \(n\), \((\frac{1}{i}\frac{d}{dx})^ne^{ikx} = k^ne^{ikx}\). These elementary results can be used to define for functions \(e^{ikx}\) and their linear combinations a fractional derivative of order \(\delta\), where \(\delta\) is a positive fraction by the formula \[ \left(\frac{1}{i}\frac{d}{dx}\right)^\delta e^{ikx} = k^\delta e^{ikx}. \] This can be extended to the closure of the domain by continuity. In this work the author studies computational properties of such derivatives over the space spanned by such functions on an interval of length \(\ell\), with \(k=\frac{1}{\ell}(2\pi n - \theta)\) where \(n\) is an integer and \(\theta\) is a parameter which is called a twist. The results are supposed to be of great value in the study of twist quantum field theory which in due course could allow an individual photon to carry more information than the single bit associated with helicity.
