Quantum Caustics for Systems with Quadratic Lagrangians in Multi-Dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study quantum caustics in dd-dimensional systems with quadratic Lagrangians. Based on Schulman's procedure in the path-integral we derive the transition amplitude on caustics in a closed form for generic multiplicity ff, and thereby complete the previous analysis carried out for the maximal multiplicity case f=df=d. Multiplicity dependence of the caustics phenomena is illusrated by examples of a particle interacting with external electromagnetic fields.
