| contents | In this work, we study the Quantum Field Theory version of the higher derivative Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator. We quantize canonically this system and construct its Fock space, as well as study its path integral. We demonstrate that the inclusion of canonical coordinates in the path integral necessarily introduces a new field, a Lagrange multiplier, which is essential for the consistent application of these coordinates in the canonical quantization framework. Finally, we analyze the improved ultraviolet convergence of the Green functions that this theory exhibits in the presence of an interaction. |
