Abstract:

Relativistic complex-ghost field theory is covariantly formulated in terms of Wightman functions. The Fourier transform of the 2-point Wightman function of a complex-ghost pair is explicitly calculated, and the spontaneous violation of its Lorentz invariance is compared with that of the corresponding Feynman integral.
