Feynman rules are derived for a lattice version of the q~;+l theory. The lattice values are transcribed, vm a quaslcontinual representation, into a continuous, non-local in spatial varmbles field theory, whmh Is then quantlzed by the path integral method.
A purpose of this note is to lbrmulate a perturbaUve scattering theory for a faithful lattice version of the 4 + 1 theory. For this we use, as a main technical tool, so called quaslcontlnual representation of latlme values of the field [1~2]. We refer to these papers for all the techmcal and notational quesUons. Let us start with the classmal lagranglan of the theory L = ½OuqSO/a~b ½m2~b2 - @/4!) ~b4 .

Introducing the eqmdlstant lattices on each axis, with lattice constants a0, a 1 ..... aD we pass to the lattice values of the field
(~(na), na = (n0a 0, n l a l ..... nDaD), n u @ Z} .
(2)
Performing the quaslcontmual interpolation between these values one replaces them with a single field Sa of contmuous vanablesxU (cf. refs. [1,2] and also refs [ 3 - 7 ] ) D

The appearance of two lagranglans xs a typical feature of a non-local field theory [8,9]. The last lagranglan determines the equation of motion of the field q~a through the Euler-Lagrange equation

The canomcal lagranglan L a serves for constructing a hamdtoman of the field q~a, and thus plays a central role m the quantlzatlon procedure. The quantizatxon is possible ff a theory is local m time. Thus removing a lattice from the rime axis by taking the limit a 0 -+ 0, and setting a 1 = ... = aD = a one gets for the field
Cka(t,x) = a D ~ (p(t, n) 5a(x - na) E QC(a, 0 ) .

The field is continuous m the txme variable while m the spanal variables the dependence ,s of quas~contmuous character. The form factor M a becomes [1,2]

and integrations over the time variables are removed m the formulae (5), (6) and (7). According to the general theory of constructing of constants of motion for non-local theories one gets for the hamdtonian the formula [8,9] D 2 k=l [3kq~(x)]2 +~m24~2(x) +

The hamlltoman xs chosen in such a way as to secure the eqmvalence of the canonical Hamdton equatmns with eq. (7). The theory admits the path-integral quantlzation procedure [ 1 0 - 1 2 ] , and yields, after necessary modifications, the following formula for the S-matrix describing a scattenng on the interaction :LaTM. + J " q~, where J(x) is an external classical source
S(J, X) = : e x p { - ¢ 0 [a+, a] K8 ~SJ} Z [J, X] : ,

The Feynman rules in the coordinate space are more comphcated since they involve "generalized vemces" which appear under the form factor Ma(x , x', x", x " ) . 277
