A class of QFTs with higher derivative field equations leading to standard dispersion relation for the particle excitations
Given any (Feynman) propagator which is Lorentz and translation invariant, it is possible to construct an action functional for a scalar field such that the quantum field theory, obtained by path integral quantization, leads to this propagator. In general, such a theory will involve derivatives of t...
