Asymptotic states in field theories containing nonlocal kinetic terms are analyzed using the canonical method, naturally defined in Minkowski space. We apply our results to study the asymptotic states of a nonlocal Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory coming from bosonization in (2+1) dimensions. We show that in this case the only asymptotic state of the theory, in the trivial (non-topological) sector, is the vacuum.

We consider the possibility of realizing inflation in nonlocal field theories containing infinitely many derivatives. Such constructions arise naturally in string field theory and also in a number of toy models, such as the p-adic string. After reviewing the complications (ghosts and instabilities) that arise when working with high-derivative theories, we discuss the the initial value problem and perturbative stability of theories with infinitely many derivatives. Next, we examine the inflationary dynamics and phenomenology of such theories. Nonlocal inflation can proceed even when the potential is naively too steep and generically predicts large non-Gaussianity in the cosmic microwave background.

A fairly general and unified approach to nonlocality in material continua is introduced here. This work aims at proposing new mathematical and conceptual foundations for the emerging topic of nonlocal metamaterials suitable for physicists, engineers, mathematicians, and materials scientists. The text develops an original rigorous theory, a detailed example involving nonlocal semiconductor metamaterials, and extensive literature review and discussion of possible applications of nonlocal metamaterials.
