The Mandelstam-Terning Line Integral in Unparticle Physics -- A Reply to Galloway, Martin and Stancato

Abstract

We show that the path ordered Wilson line integral used in 0802.0313 to make a nonlocal action gauge invariant is mathematically inconsistent. We also show that it can lead to reasonable gauge field vertexes by the use of a second mathematically unjustifiable procedure.
