In this contribution I discuss a path integral approach for the quantum motion on two-dimensional spaces according to Koenigs, for short ``Koenigs-Spaces''. Their construction is simple: One takes a Hamiltonian from two-dimensional flat…

Let $M$ be any $n$ dimensional smooth manifold and $PM$ be the space of all smooth paths, then we showed that $PM$ is a smooth manifold modelled over a complete normable space. We discussed many geometric structure on Path spaces and its…

We describe how to construct and compute unambiguously path integrals for particles moving in a curved space, and how these path integrals can be used to calculate Feynman graphs and effective actions for various quantum field theories with…

We briefly review a hamiltonian path integral formalism developed earlier by one of us. An important feature of this formalism is that the path integral quantization in arbitrary co-ordinates is set up making use of only classical…
