چکیده
In this paper we continue the study of the path-integral formulation of classical mechanics and in particular we better clarify, with respect to previous papers, the geometrical meaning of the variables entering this formulation. With respect to the first paper with the same title, we correct here the set of transformations for the auxiliary variables λ a. We prove that under this new set of transformations the Hamiltonian H, appearing in our path-integral, is an exact scalar and the same for the Lagrangian. Despite this different transformation, the variables λ a maintain the same operatorial meaning as before but on a different functional space. Cleared up this point we then show that the space spanned by the whole set of variables (φ, c, λ, ¯ c) of our path-integral is the cotangent bundle to the reversed-parity tangent bundle of the phase space M of our system and it is indicated as T ⋆ (ΠT M). In case the reader feel uneasy with this strange Grassmannian double bundle, we show in this paper that it is possible to build a different path-integral made only of bosonic variables. These turn out to be the coordinates of T ⋆ (T ⋆ M) which is the double cotangent bundle of phase-space.

We present BRST gauge fixing approach to quantum mechanics in phase space. The theory is obtained by ¯ h-deformation of the cohomological classical mechanics described by d = 1, N = 2 model. We use the extended phase space supplied by the path integral formulation with ¯ h-deformed symplectic structure.

We consider the non-interacting massive Wess-Zumino model in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space and show that the conformal dimensions of the corresponding boundary fields do not always satisfy the relation expected from superconformal invariance.

In this talk we briefly review the concept of supersymmetric quantum mechanics using a model introduced by Witten. A quasi-classical path-integral evaluation for this model is performed, leading to a so-called supersymmetric quasi-classical quantization condition. Properties of this quantization condition are compared with those derived from the standard WKB approach.
