چکیده
Our rigorous path integral is extended to quantum evolution on metricaffine manifolds. 1 Path Integrals on Euclidean Spaces. Consider the evolution operator U [ψ(t, q)] = ψ(t, q), t ≥ t, of the quantum evolution equation on L(R): h̄ i ∂ψ(t, q)/∂t+ f(t, q, h̄ i ∂/∂q)ψ(t, q) = 0. Here the operator f(t, q, h̄ i ∂/∂q) is the standard quantization of a classical timedependent quasi-Hamiltonian f(t, q, p) on the phase space R. The formal Hamiltonian functional integral

Some comments on rigorous quantum field path integrals in the analytical regularization scheme
Through the systematic use of the Minlos theorem on the support of cylindrical measures on R∞, we produce several mathematically rigorous path integrals in interacting euclidean quantum fields with Gaussian free measures defined by generalized powers of the Laplacean operator.

The loop representation of quantum gravity has many formal resemblances to a background-free string theory. In fact, its origins lie in attempts to treat the string theory of hadrons as an approximation to QCD, in which the strings represent flux tubes of the gauge field. A heuristic path-integral approach indicates a duality between background-free string theories and generally covariant gauge...
متن کاملPath Integral Quantization and Riemannian-Symplectic Manifolds
We develop a mathematically well-defined path integral formalism for general symplectic manifolds. We argue that in order to make a path integral quantization covariant under general coordinate transformations on the phase space and involve a genuine functional measure that is both finite and countably additive, the phase space manifold should be equipped with a Riemannian structure (metric). A...
متن کاملTwo-loop Quark Self-energy in a New Formalism (i) Overlapping Divergences
A new integration technique for multi-loop Feynman integrals, called the matrix method, is developed and then applied to the divergent part of the overlapping two-loop quark self-energy function iΣ in the light-cone gauge n·A(x) = 0, n = 0. It is shown that the coefficient of the double-pole term is strictly local, even off mass-shell, while the coefficient of the single-pole term contains loca...
متن کاملA Rigorous Real Time Feynman Path Integral
where φ, ψ ∈ L, H = −~ 2m ∆+V (~x) is essentially self-adjoint, H̄ is the closure ofH , and φ, ψ, V each carries at most a finite number of singularities and discontinuities. In flavor of physics literature, we will formulate the Feynman path integral with improper Riemann integrals. In hope that with further research we can formulate a rigorous polygonal path integral, we will also provide a No...
