In this work we explicitly show that the perturbative unitarity of analytic infinite derivative scalar field theories can be achieved using a modified prescription for computing scattering amplitudes. The crux of the new prescription is the analytic continuation of a result obtained in the Euclidean signature to the Minkowski external momenta. We intensively elaborate an example of a nonlocal ϕ4 model for various infinite derivative operators. General UV properties of amplitudes in nonlocal theories are discussed.

Towards nonlocal density functionals by explicit modelling of the exchange-correlation hole in inhomogeneous systems
Giesbertz, Klaas; van Leeuwen, Robert; von Barth, U. (American Physical Society, 2013)We put forward an approach for the development of a nonlocal density functional by a direct modeling of the shape of exchange-correlation (xc) hole in inhomogeneous systems. The functional is aimed at giving an accurate ... -
Robustness of the Gaussian concentration inequality and the Brunn–Minkowski inequality
Barchiesi, Marco; Julin, Vesa (Springer, 2017)We provide a sharp quantitative version of the Gaussian concentration inequality: for every r > 0, the difference between the measure of the r-enlargement of a given set and the r-enlargement of a half-space controls ... -
Ultra-nonlocality in density functional theory for photo-emission spectroscopy
Uimonen, Anna-Maija; Stefanucci, G.; van Leeuwen, Robert (American Institute of Physics, 2014)[Introduction] We derive an exact expression for the photocurrent of photo-emission spectroscopy using time- dependent current density functional theory (TDCDFT). This expression is given as an integral over the Kohn-Sham ... -
Representation of solutions and large-time behavior for fully nonlocal diffusion equations
Kemppainen, Jukka; Siljander, Juhana; Zacher, Rico (Elsevier, 2017)We study the Cauchy problem for a nonlocal heat equation, which is of fractional order both in space and time. We prove four main theorems: (i) a representation formula for classical solutions, (ii) a quantitative decay ...
