When employing Feynman path integrals to compute propagators in quantum physics, the concept of summing over the set of all paths is not always naive. In fact, an auxiliary phase often has to be included as a weight for each summand. In…

We study formulations of bound state (Bethe-Salpeter) equations on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. We obtain a hierarchy of equations for multipartice wave functions. These equations, at each number of particles, depend on certain choices…
