Feynman’s operational calculi: using Cauchy’s integral formula
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we express the disentangling, or the formation of a function of several noncommuting operators using Cauchy’s Integral Formula in several complex variables. It is seen that the disentangling of a given function f can be expressed as a contour integral around the boundary of a polydisk where the standard Cauchy kernel is replaced by the disentangling of the Cauchy kernel expressed as an element of the disentangling algebra. This approach to the operational calculus allows for us to develop a “differential calculus” with disentanglings.

Feynman’s Operational Calculi: Spectral Theory for Noncommuting Self-Adjoint Operators
The spectral theorem for commuting self-adjoint operators along with the associated functional (or operational) calculus is among the most useful and beautiful results of analysis. It is well known that forming a functional calculus for noncommuting self-adjoint operators is far more problematic. The central result of this paper establishes a rich functional calculus for any finite number of no...
متن کاملA distributional approach to Feynman’s operational calculus
In this paper we will construct an operator-valued distribution that will extend Feynman’s operational calculus in the setting of Jefferies and Johnson, 2001–2003, and Johnson–Lapidus–Nielsen, 2014, from the disentangling of holomorphic functions of several variables to the disentangling of Schwartz functions on R. It will be shown that the disentangled operator corresponding to a Schwartz func...
متن کاملFeynman’s Operational Calculi: Decomposing Disentanglings
Let X be a Banach space and suppose that A1, . . . ,An are noncommuting (that is, not necessarily commuting) elements in L(X), the space of bounded linear operators on X. Further, for each i ∈ {1, . . . , n}, let μi be a continuous probability measure on B([0,1]), the Borel class of [0,1]. Each such n-tuple of operator-measure pairs (Ai,μi), i = 1, . . . , n, determines an operational calculus ...
متن کاملEquivariance, Variational Principles, and the Feynman Integral
We argue that the variational calculus leading to Euler’s equations and Noether’s theorem can be replaced by equivariance and invariance conditions avoiding the action integral. We also speculate about the origin of Lagrangian theories in physics and their connection to Feynman’s integral.
