Abstract
It is well known that the propagator for a massive scalar field is
ill-defined in the coordinate space for $d\geq2$, in particular it diverges at
the light-cone; we show that by using Lorentz symmetry breaking weighted
measures, an infinite family of propagators can be constructed in an
in\-finite\-simal strip near the light-cone, which are labeled by the weight of
the measure; hence, the results will provide a finite quantum amplitude for a
massive particle for propagating on the light-cone. The propagators regarded as
smooth two-points functions, increase within a region smaller than the Compton
wavelength, and decrease beyond that wavelength, and eventually drop off for
large arguments. Although the time ordered propagators retain negative values
regions for arbitrary values of the weight $s$ for the measures, the
restriction $2
