We demonstrate that parastatistics can be quantized using path integrals by calculating the generating functionals for time-ordered products of both free and interacting parabose and parafermi fields in terms of path integrals. We also give…
In this paper we address, from a purely numerical point of view, the question, raised in [20, 21], and partly considered in [22, 9, 3], whether a certain function, referred to as "Euler Integral", is a quasi-integral along the trajectories…
Hamiltonian systems with functionally dependent constraints (irregular systems), for which the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable, are discussed. They are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the…
A form of the constraints, specifying a $D$-dimensional manifold embedded in $D+1$ dimensional Euclidean space, is discussed in the path integral formula given by a time discretization. Although the mid-point prescription is privileged in…

In this paper it is shown how the generating functional for Green's functions in relativistic quantum field theory and in thermal field theory can be evaluated in terms of a standard quantum mechanical path integral. With this calculational…
Working within the path-integral framework we first establish a duality between the partion functions of two $U(1)$ gauge theories with a theta term in $d=4$ space-time dimensions. Then, after a dimensional reduction to $d=3$ dimensions we…
Path integration is a respected form of quantization that all theoretical quantum physicists should welcome. This elaboration begins with simple examples of three different versions of path integration. After an important clarification of…
A new Dimensional Regularization of $\gamma_5$ is proposed. Cyclicity and Lorentz covariance are enforced. The extension to generic dimension is based on the integral representation of the trace of gamma's, presented in a previous paper.
We prove large deviation principles for $\int_0^t \gamma(X_s)ds$, where $X$ is a $d$-dimensional self-similar Gaussian process and $\gamma(x)$ takes the form of the Dirac delta function $\delta(x)$, $|x|^{-\beta}$ with $\beta\in (0,d)$, or…
We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
In this expository paper we describe the pathwise behaviour of the integral functional $\int_0^t f(Y_u)\,\dd u$ for any $t\in[0,\zeta]$, where $\zeta$ is (a possibly infinite) exit time of a one-dimensional diffusion process $Y$ from its…
For the construction of the Lorentzian path integral for gravity one faces two main questions: Firstly, what configurations to include, in particular whether to allow Lorentzian metrics that violate causality conditions. And secondly, how…
