We present explicit expressions for multi-fold logarithmic integrals that are equivalent to sums over polygamma functions at integer argument. Such relations find application in perturbative quantum field theory, quantum chemistry, analytic…
We prove a generalisation of Fernique's theorem which applies to a class of (measurable) functionals on abstract Wiener spaces by using the isoperimetric inequality. Our motivation comes from rough path theory where one deals with iterated…
These notes are concerned with harmonic and holomorphic functions on Euclidean spaces, using quaternions and Clifford algebras in higher dimensions. The main themes are weak solutions, the mean-value property, and subharmonicity.
Stochastic line integrals provide a useful tool for quantitatively characterizing irreversibility and detailed balance violation in noise-driven dynamical systems. A particular realization is the stochastic area, recently studied in coupled…
Dynamics of a free point particle on a multi world-line is presented and shown to reduce to that of a bosonic string theory at the appropriate limit. Other higher dimensional extended objects are argued to appear at other regions of the…
A general framework for integration over certain infinite dimensional spaces is first developed using projective limits of a projective family of compact Hausdorff spaces. The procedure is then applied to gauge theories to carry out…
We give two novel proofs that the path integral and stochastic quantizations of generic scalar Euclidean quantum field theories are equivalent. Our proofs rely on Taylor interpolations indexed by forests, in the fashion of constructive…
The path integral approach offers not only an exact expression for the non- equilibrium dynamics of dissipative quantum systems, but is also a convenient starting point for perturbative treatments. An alternative way to explore the…
By a stronger compact boundary embedding theorem in Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev space developed in the paper, variational method is employed to deal with the nonlinear elliptic equation with the nonlinear Neumann boundary condition in the…
By analogy with the Wiener measure on the Euclidean plane that is invariant under the group of rotations and quasi-invariant under the group of diffeomorphisms, we construct the path integrals measure that is invariant under the Lorentz…
We prove a support theorem for the radiation fields on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds with metrics which are warped products near infinity. It generalizes to this setting the well known support theorem for the Radon transform on…
Functional methods can be applied to the quantum effective action to efficiently determine counterterms and matching conditions for effective field theories. We extend the toolbox to two-loop order and beyond and show how to evaluate the…
In this paper we use a path-integral approach to represent the Lyapunov exponents of both deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. In both cases the relevant correlation functions are obtained from a (one-dimensional) supersymmetric…
I assume a universe whereby the speed of light and the planck constant are not constants but instead parameters that vary locally in time-and space. When describing motion, I am able to derive a modified path integral description at the…
We show how some geometric elements of the path of a particle moving in a plane -- the osculating circle and its radius of curvature -- can be used to construct the parabolic trajectory of projectiles in motion under gravity.
Starting from the Dirac equation in external electromagnetic and torsion fields we derive a path integral representation for the corresponding propagator. An effective action, which appears in the representation, is interpreted as a…
The wave function of the universe is evaluated by using the Euclidean path integral approach. As is well known, the real Euclidean path integral diverges because the Einstein-Hilbert action is not positive definite. In order to obtain a…
The solvability in Sobolev spaces is proved for divergence form complex-valued higher order parabolic systems in the whole space, on a half space, and on a Reifenberg flat domain. The leading coefficients are assumed to be merely measurable…
The author has previously constructed a class of admissible vector fields on the path space of an elliptic diffusion process $x$ taking values in a closed compact manifold. In this Note the existence of flows for this class of vector fields…
