A loop or coupling expansion of a so-called n-particle irreducible (nPI) generating functional provides a well-defined approximation scheme in terms of self-consistently dressed propagators and n-point vertices. A self-consistently complete…
We analyse within the framework of resonance chiral theory the $\langle SA_\mu A_\nu \rangle$ and $\langle SV_\mu V_\nu \rangle$ three-point Green functions, where $S$, $A_{\mu} $ and $V_{\mu}$ are short for scalar, axial-vector and vector…

The present paper is a short review of different path integral representations of the partition function of quantum spin systems. To begin with, I consider coherent states for SU(2) algebra. Different parameterizations of the coherent…
The Euclidean path integral quite often involves an action that is not completely real {\it i.e.} a complex action. This occurs when the Minkowski action contains $t$-odd CP-violating terms. Analytic continuation to Euclidean time yields an…
In recent years, we have established the iteration theory of the index for symplectic matrix paths and applied it to periodic solution problems of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. This paper is a survey on these results.
A theorem that constructs a path integral solution for general second order partial differential equations is specialized to obtain path integrals that are solutions of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic linear second order partial…
A path integral is presented that solves a general class of linear second order partial differential equations with Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions. Elementary kernels are constructed for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
The compatibility between the conformal symmetry and the closure of conformal algebras is discussed on the nonlinear sigma model. The present approach, above the basis of field redefinition employed in the Hamiltonian scheme, attempts the…
The standard way to construct a path integral is to use a Legendre transformation to find the hamiltonian, to repeatedly insert complete sets of states into the time-evolution operator, and then to integrate over the momenta. This procedure…
In the context of integrable field theory with boundary, the integrable non-linear sigma models in two dimensions, for example, the $O(N)$, the principal chiral, the ${\rm CP}^{N-1}$ and the complex Grassmannian sigma models are discussed…
Higher order coefficients of the inverse mass expansion of one--loop effective actions are obtained from a one--dimensional path integral representation. For the evaluation of the path integral with Wick contractions a suitable Green…
We introduce the Lorentzian path integral of nonlocal quantum gravity. After introducing the functional measure, the Faddeev-Popov sector and the field correlators, we move to perturbation theory and describe Efimov analytic continuation of…
Off-shell supersymmetry, which restricts sparticles to appear only off-shell, solves the gauge hierarchy problem and unifies the gauge couplings in the usual way. Without introducing any new interactions or exacerbating the naturalness,…
A method of path integral construction without gauge fixing in the holomorphic representation is proposed for finite-dimensional gauge models. This path integral determines a manifestly gauge-invariant kernel of the evolution operator.
