It is apparent to anyone who thinks about it that, to a large degree, the basic concepts of Newtonian physics are quite intuitive, but quantum mechanics is not. My purpose in this talk is to introduce you to a new, much more intuitive way…
We discuss measures on spaces of unparametrized paths related to the Wiener measure. These measures arise naturally in the study of one-dimensional gravity coupled to scalar fields. Two kinds of discrete approximations are defined, the…
