On Peculiarities and Pit Falls in Path Integrals

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

Path integrals can be rigorously defined only in low dimensional systems where the small distance limit can be taken. Particularly non-trivial models in more than four dimensions can only be handled with considerable amount of speculation. In this lecture we try to put these various aspects in perspective.
