We discuss $p$-variation regularity of real-valued functions defined on $[0,T]^2$, based on rectangular increments. When $p>1$, there are two slightly different notions of $p$-variation; both of which are useful in the context of Gaussian…
We propose a natural, parameter-free, discrete-variable formulation of Feynman path integrals. We show that for discrete-variable quantum systems, Feynman path integrals take the form of walks on the graph whose weighted adjacency matrix is…
This paper introduces the path derivatives, in the spirit of Dupire's functional It\^o calculus, for the controlled paths in the rough path theory with possibly non-geometric rough paths. The theory allows us to deal with rough integration…
We consider 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SU(2) super Yang-Mills theory on $X\times S^1$, with $X$ a closed smooth four-manifold. A partial topological twisting along $X$ renders the theory formally independent of the metric on $X$. The theory depends…
We develop a Fourier approach to rough path integration, based on the series decomposition of continuous functions in terms of Schauder functions. Our approach is rather elementary, the main ingredient being a simple commutator estimate,…
We consider additive functionals of stationary Markov processes and show that under Kipnis-Varadhan type conditions they converge in rough path topology to a Stratonovich Brownian motion, with a correction to the Levy area that can be…
We establish an It\^o-type formula for finite $p$-variation paths with jumps for arbitrary $p\geq 1$. The formula is stated in a fully pathwise form and separates the reduced rough integral from explicit left- and right-jump correction…
Regularization is used in many different areas of optimization when solutions are sought which not only minimize a given function, but also possess a certain degree of regularity. Popular applications are image denoising, sparse regression…
We derive a functional change of variable formula for {\it non-anticipative} functionals defined on the space of right continuous paths with left limits. The functional is only required to possess certain directional derivatives, which may…
The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, i.e., the idea that the evolution of a quantum system is determined as a sum over all the possible trajectories that would take the system from the initial to its final state of its…
We provide a draft of a theory of geometric integration of rough differential forms which are generalizations of classical (smooth) differential forms to similar objects with very low regularity, for instance, involving H\"older continuous…
We obtain direct, finite, descriptions of a renormalized quantum mechanical system with no reference to ultraviolet cutoffs and running coupling constants, in both the Hamiltonian and path integral pictures. The path integral description…
We investigate path integral formalism for continuum theory. It is shown that the path integral for the soft modes can be represented in the form of a lattice theory. Kinetic term of this lattice theory has a standard form and potential…
We use a path integral approach for solving the stochastic equations underlying the financial markets, and we show the equivalence between the path integral and the usual SDE and PDE methods. We analyze both the one-dimensional and the…
When the one-form is $Lip\left(\gamma-1\right) $ with $\gamma >p\geq 1$, we construct the integral of a branched $p$-rough path, which defines another branched $p$-rough path. We derive a quantitative bound for this integral and prove that…
Rough path analysis can be developed using the concept of controlled paths, and with respect to a topology in which L\'evy's area plays a role. For vectors of irregular paths we investigate the relationship between the property of being…
Starting from the canonical formalism of relativistic (timeless) quantum mechanics, the formulation of timeless path integral is rigorously derived. The transition amplitude is reformulated as the sum, or functional integral, over all…
Path integrals represent a powerful route to quantization: they calculate probabilities by summing over classical configurations of variables such as fields, assigning each configuration a phase equal to the action of that configuration.…
We consider a class $\mathscr{X}$ of continuous functions on $[0,1]$ that is of interest from two different perspectives. First, it is closely related to sets of functions that have been studied as generalizations of the Takagi function.…
We present the path integral formulation of a broad class of generalized diffusion processes. Employing the path integral we derive exact expressions for the path probability densities and joint probability distributions for the class of…
