Superoscillations and the Klein-Gordon equation via the Fourier method

Kamal Diki, Simon Verbruggen

TL;DR

The paper analyzes the time evolution of 1D Klein-Gordon dynamics with superoscillatory initial data and Dirac-type sources, using the Fourier method to derive explicit solutions and to reveal the role of infinite-order differential operators. It connects superoscillations to the Segal-Bargmann (Fock-space) framework, providing integral representations via the Segal-Bargmann transform and illustrating how the initial superoscillatory data propagate and persist under relativistic dynamics. A key finding is an additional integral term in the inhomogeneous evolution that links to covariance-like kernels of fractional Brownian motion, suggesting a bridge between superoscillatory phenomena in quantum field settings and stochastic processes. Overall, the work embeds superoscillations within the Segal-Bargmann formalism, yielding both explicit evolution formulas and novel integral representations with potential applications in quantum dynamics and stochastic modeling.

Abstract

We investigate the time-evolution problem associated with the Klein-Gordon equation, using superoscillations as initial data. Additionally, the Segal-Bargmann transform is used to derive integral representations of the resulting solutions.
