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.

متن کاملDifferential equations to compute h̄ corrections of the trace formula Gábor
In this paper a new method for computation of higher order corrections to the saddle point approximation of the Feynman path integral is introduced. The saddle point approximation leads to local Schrödinger problems around classical orbits. Especially, the saddle point approximation leads to Schrödinger problems around classical periodic orbits when it is applied to the trace of Green’s functio...
متن کاملUniversal Hidden Supersymmetry in Classical Mechanics and Its Local Extension
We review here a path-integral approach to classical mechanics and explore the geometrical meaning of this construction. In particular we bring to light a universal hidden BRS invariance and its geometrical relevance for the Cartan calculus on symplectic manifolds. Together with this BRS invariance we also show the presence of a universal hidden genuine non-relativistic supersymmetry. In an att...

Casimir entropy is an important aspect of casimir effect and at the nanoscale is visible. In this paper, we employ the path integral method to obtain a general relation for casimir entropy and internal energy of arbitrary shaped objects in the presence of two, three and four dimension scalar fields and the electromagnetic field. For this purpose, using Lagrangian and based on a perturb...
