Abstract: (Springer)
A scheme for a nonlocal theory of quantized fields based on the hypothesis of stochastic space is proposed. Within this scheme the gauge-invariant quantum electrodynamics of particles with spin 0, 1/2, 1 and four-fermion weak interactions are constructed, and nonlocal corrections to the anomalous magnetic moments of leptons and to the Lamb shift are calculated. Some consequences of the neutrino oscillations and the electromagnetic properties of neutrinos are considered in detail. Further the rare decay KL0μ+μK_L^0\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^− and the mass difference of KL0K_L^0 and KS0K_S^0 mesons are investigated in this model. It is shown that the parameter of nonlocality (elementary lengthl) of weak interactions which can characterize a domain of unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions is 1016\sim 10^{−16} cm. The low-energy experiments imply that quantum electrodynamics is valid up to distances of order 1015\sim 10^{−15} cm.
