Multiresolution quantum field theory in light-front coordinates

We analyse the use of wavelet transform in quantum field theory models written in light-front coordinates. In a recent paper [W.N Polyzou, Phys. Rev. D 101(2020) 096004] W.N.Polyzou used $x^+$ variable as 'time', and applied wavelet transform to the 'spatial' coordinates only. This makes the theory asymmetric with respect to space and time coordinates. In present paper we generalise the concept of continuous causal path, which is the basis of path integration, to the sequences of causally ordered spacetime regions, and present evaluation rules for Feynman path integrals over such sequences in terms of wavelet transform. Both the path integrals and the wavelet transform in our model are symmetric with respect to the light-front variables ($x^+,x^-$). The definition of a spacetime event in our generalization is very much like the definition of event in probability theory.

On the corrections to the Casimir effect depending on the resolution of measurement

The Casimir force $\cF = -\frac{π^2\hbar c}{240a^4}$, which attracts to each other two perfectly conducting parallel plates separated by the distance $a$ in vacuum, is one of the blueprints of the reality of vacuum fluctuations. Following the recent conjecture, that quantum fields should be described in terms of the fields depending on the resolution of measurement, rather than the position alone (M.V.Altaisky, Phys. Rev. D 81(2010)125003), we derive the correction to the Casimir energy depending on the ratio of the plate displacement amplitude to the distance between plates.
