We define the time-continuous spin coherent-state path integral in a way that is free from inconsistencies. The proposed definition is used to reproduce known exact results. Such a formalism opens new possibilities for applying…
Analysis of the WKB exactness in some homogeneous spaces is attempted. $CP^N$ as well as its noncompact counterpart $D_{N,1}$ is studied. $U(N+1)$ or U(N,1) based on the Schwinger bosons leads us to $CP^N$ or $D_{N,1}$ path integral…
\(\Un{N}\) coherent states over Grassmann manifold, \(\grsmn{N}{n}\simeq\Un{N}/ (\Un{n}\times \Un{N-n})\), are formulated to be able to argue the WKB-exactness, so called the localization of Duistermaat-Heckman, in the path integral…
We construct the path integral formula in terms of ``multi-periodic'' coherent state as an extension of the Nielsen-Rohrlich formula for spin. We make an exact calculation of the formula and show that, when a parameter corresponding to the…
In this paper, we develop the formulation of the spin coherent state in real parameterization up to SU(5). The path integral in this representation of coherent state and its classical consequence are investigated. Using the resolution of…
Path integral for the $SU(2)$ spin system is reconsidered. We show that the Nielsen-Rohrlich(NR) formula is equivalent to the spin coherent state expression so that the phase space in the NR formalism is not topologically nontrivial. We…

Two long-standing problems in the construction of coherent state path integrals, the unwarranted assumption of path continuity and the ambiguous definition of the Hamiltonian symbol, are rigorously solved. To this end the fully controlled…
We outline the principal results of a recent examination of the quantization of systems with first- and second-class constraints from the point of view of coherent-state phase-space path integration. Two examples serve to illustrate the…
It is a common belief among field theorists that path integrals can be computed exactly only in a limited number of special cases, and that most of these cases are already known. However recent developments, which generalize the WKBJ method…
The SU(1,1) coherent states for a relativistic model of the linear singular oscillator are considered. The corresponding partition function is evaluated. The path integral for the transition amplitude between SU(1,1) coherent states is…
By returning to the underlying discrete time formalism, we relate spurious results in coherent state path integral calculations to the high frequency structure of their propagators. We show how to modify the standard expressions for…
We present a new method for the consistent construction of time-continuous coherent-state path integrals using the theory of half-form quantization. Through the inversion of the quantization procedure we construct a de-quantization map…
In the Hilbert space of a quantum particle the standard coherent-state resolution of unity is written in terms of a phase-space integration of the outer product $|z\rangle \langle z|$. Because no pair of coherent states is orthogonal, one…
We extend the Barut-Girardello coherent state for the representation of $SU(1,1)$ to the coherent state for a representation of $U(N,1)$ and construct the measure. We also construct a path integral formula for some Hamiltonian.
It is pointed out that there are some fundamental difficulties with the frequently used continuous-time formalism of the spin-coherent-state path integral. They arise already in a single-spin system and at the level of the "classical…
