abstract
In this paper, we propose new regularization, where integer-order differential operators are replaced by fractional-order operators. Regularization for quantum field theories based on application of the Riesz fractional derivatives of non-integer orders is suggested. The regularized loop integrals depend on parameter that is the order alpha>0 of the fractional derivative. The regularization procedure is demonstrated for scalar massless fields in phi^4-theory on n-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space-time.

Heat kernel for higher-order differential operators and generalized exponential functions
For the operator (−∆)^ν, the heat kernel is a generalized exponential (Fox-Wright) function E_{ν,d/2}(−x^2/4τ^{1/ν}), with power-law asymptotics for noninteger ν and oscillatory exponential asymptotics for integer ν.
