Relativistic wave equations with fractional derivatives and pseudo-differential operators

Abstract

The class of the free relativistic covariant equations generated by the fractional powers of the D'Alambertian operator $({\square }^{1/n})$ is studied. Meanwhile the equations corresponding to n=1 and 2 (Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations) are local in their nature, the multicomponent equations for arbitrary n>2 are non-local. It is shown, how the representation of generalized algebra of Pauli and Dirac matrices looks like and how these matrices are related to the algebra of SU(n) group. The corresponding representations of the Poincaré group and further symmetry transformations on the obtained equations are discussed. The construction of the related Green functions is suggested.
