Abstract:
We elucidate the relation between the two ways of formulating causality in nonlocal quantum field theory: using analytic test functions belonging to the space S0 (which is the Fourier transform of the Schwartz space ) and using test functions in the Gelfand-Shilov spaces S0. We prove that every functional defined on S0 has the same carrier cones as its restrictions to the smaller spaces S0. As an application of this result, we derive a Paley-Wiener-Schwartz-type theorem for arbitrarily singular generalized functions of tempered growth and obtain the corresponding extension of Vladimirovs algebra of functions holomorphic in a tubular domain.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 143, No. 2, pp. 195–210, May, 2005.
