In this article, the general solution of the tachyonic Klein-Gordon equation is obtained as a Fourier integral performed on a suitable path in the complex \omega-plane. In particular, it is proved that under given boundary conditions this solution does not contain any superluminal components. On the basis of this result, we infer that all possible spacelike wave equations describe the dynamics of subluminal particles endowed with imaginary mass. This result is validated for the Chodos equation, used to describe the hypothetical superluminal behaviour of neutrino. In this specific framework, it is proved that the wave packet propagates in spacetime with subluminal group velocities and that for enough small energies it behaves as a localized wave.

Abstract We consider the massive Klein–Gordon equation on short-range asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes. Extending our results in [7], we show that the Klein–Gordon operator with Feynman-type boundary conditions at infinite times is invertible and that its inverse, called the Feynman inverse, satisfies the microlocal conditions of Feynman parametrices in the sense of Duistermaat and Hörmander. This supplements the recent work of Vasy [10] with more explicit techniques.
