Induced Gauge Fields in the Path Integral

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

The path integral on a homogeneous space G/H G/H is constructed, based on the guiding principle `first lift to G G and then project to G/H G/H '. It is then shown that this principle admits inequivalent quantizations inducing a gauge field (the canonical connection) on the homogeneous space, and thereby reproduces the result obtained earlier by algebraic approaches.
