ON CAUSALITY IN MODERN FIELD THEORY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4749031
The form of causality adopted in modern theory follows from the basic space-time concepts. It was borrowed from macroscopic physics and is automatically applied to infinitely small scales because of the nature of the singularities of the Green functions. This leads to the appearance of divergencies (infinities) for a number of the most important physical quantities associated with elementary particles. Some preliminary theoretical models that modify essentially causality for small space-time scales, retaining at the same time, the macroscopic causality are considered. (auth)
