Infinite Derivatives vs Integral Operators. The Moeller-Zwiebach Puzzle

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-05-27 v3 Mathematical Physics math.MP

Abstract

We study the relationship between integral and infinite-derivative operators. In particular, we examine the operator p12t2p^{\frac12\,\partial_t^2}\, that appears in the theory of pp-adic string fields, as well as the Moyal product that arises in non-commutative theories. We also attempt to clarify the apparent paradox presented by Moeller and Zwiebach, which highlights the discrepancy between them.
