Heat Kernels as Path Integrals

Differential Geometry 2018-10-19 v1

Abstract

In this survey article, we review the relation between heat kernels and path integrals. In particular, we review recent results on the approximation of the Wiener measure on compact manifold by measures on (finite-dimensional) spaces of piece-wise geodesics.
