Abstract
We propose a covariant definition of the fractional Klein–Gordon equation (KGE) with long-range interactions independent of the metric of the underlying manifold. As an example we consider the fractional KGE on AdS2+1, computing the explicit kernel representation of the fractional Laplace–Beltrami operator as well as the two-point propagator of the fractional KGE. Our results suggest that the propagator only exists if the mass is small compared to the inverse AdS radius, presumably because the AdS space expands faster with distance as a flat space of the same dimension. Our results are expected to be useful in particular for new applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence within statistical mechanics and quantum information.
