Effects of Non-locality in Gravity and Quantum Theory [E-Book] / by Jens Boos.
This thesis is devoted to the systematic study of non-local theories that respect Lorentz invariance and are devoid of new, unphysical degrees of freedom. Such theories are attractive for phenomenological applications since they are mostly unconstrained by current experiments. Non-locality has playe...
