This system admits both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, and its Cauchy problem and quantization are well-defined. We classify exact nonperturbative solutions of the localized model which can be found via the diffusion equation governing the fields.12 pages; v2: typos correctedHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyMathematical PhysicsLocalization of nonlocal theoriestext
