Space of test functions for higher-order field theories

The fundamental space ζ is defined as the set of entire analytic functions [test functions φ(z)], which are rapidly decreasing on the real axis. The variable z corresponds to the complex energy plane. The conjugate or dual space ζ′ is the set of continuous linear functionals (distributions) on ζ. Am...
