Sumario:A general definition of convolution between two arbitrary four-dimensional Lorentz invariant (fdLi) tempered ultradistributions is given, in both Minkowski and Euclidean space (spherically symmetric tempered Ultradistributions). The product of two arbitrary fdLi distributions of exponential type is defined via the convolution of its corresponding Fourier transforms. Several examples of convolution of two fdLi tempered ultadisrtibutions are given. In particular, we calculate exactly the convolution of two Feynman's massless prapagators. An expression for the Fourier transform of a Lorentz invariant tempered ultradistribution in terms of modified Bessel distributions is obtained in this work (generalization of Bochner's formula to Minkowski space). From the deduction of the convoltion formula, we obtain the generalization to the Minkowski space, of the dimensional regularization of the perturbation theory of Green functions in the Euclidean configuration space given in Erdelyi (Higher Transcendental Functions, 1953). As an example we evaluate the convolution of two n-dimensional complex-mass Wheeler propagators. © 2004 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
