Abstract

Feynman integrands are constructed as Hida distributions. For our approach we first have to construct solutions to a corresponding Schroedinger equation with time-dependent potential. This is done by a generalization of the Doss approach to time-dependent potentials. This involves an expectation w.r.t. a complex scaled Brownian motion. As examples polynomial potentials of degree 4n+2,nN,4n+2, n\in\mathbb N, and singular potentials of the form 1xn,nN\frac{1}{|x|^n}, n\in\mathbb N and 1xn,nN,\frac{1}{x^n}, n\in\mathbb N, are worked out.
