On Duru-Kleinert Path Integral in Quantum Cosmology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the Duru-Kleinert fixed energy amplitude leads to the path integral for the propagation amplitude in the closed FRW quantum cosmology with scale factor as one degree of freedom. Then, using the Duru-Kleinert equivalence of corresponding actions, we calculate the tunneling rate, with exact prefactor, through the dilute-instanton approximation to first order in h̄. ∗e-mail: tabriz [email protected] †e-mail: [email protected] ‡e-mail: [email protected]

Unification of Different Propagator Transformations in Quantum Mechanics
Using the equation of motion for the causal propagator we derive transformations between different quantum mechanical systems. It is shown that our approach unifies the propagator transformations from Duru–Kleinert and Inomata et al. which have originally been performed in the path integral representation of the propagator.
متن کاملPath Integral on Relativistic Spinless Potential Problems
The formulation of the relativistic spinless path integral on the general affine space is presented. For the one dimensional space, the Duru-Kleinert (DK) method and the δ-function perturbation technique are applied to solve the relativistic path integrals of the smooth potential and the Dirichlet boundary condition problems, respectively. Let us first consider a point particle of mass M moving...
متن کاملTunneling in Λ Decaying Cosmologies and the Cosmological Constant Problem
The tunneling rate, with exact prefactor, is calculated to first order in h̄ for an empty closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe with decaying cosmological term Λ ∼ R−m ( R is the scale factor and m is a parameter 0 ≤ m ≤ 2 ). This model is equivalent to a cosmology with the equation of state pχ = (m/3 − 1)ρχ. The calculations are performed by applying the diluteinstanton approximation...
متن کاملOn an exact path integral of the hydrogen atom
The path integral evaluation of the hydrogen atom by Duru and Kleinert is studied by recognizing it as a special case of the general treatment of the separable Hamiltonian of Liouville-type. The basic dynamical principle involved is identified as the Jacobi’s principle of least action for given energy which is reparametrization invariant, and thus the appearance of a gauge freedom is naturally ...
متن کاملPath integral of the hydrogen atom, the Jacobi’s principle of least action and one-dimensional quantum gravity
A path integral evaluation of the Green’s function for the hydrogen atom initiated by Duru and Kleinert is studied by recognizing it as a special case of the general treatment of the separable Hamiltonian of Liouville-type. The basic dynamical principle involved is identified as the Jacobi’s principle of least action for given energy which is reparametrization invariant, and thus the appearance...
