Certain phase space path integrals can be evaluated exactly using equivariant cohomology and localization in the canonical loop space. Here we extend this to a general class of models. We consider hamiltonians which are {\it a priori}…
Quantum many-body systems are characterized by patterns of correlations that define highly-non trivial manifolds when interpreted as data structures. Physical properties of phases and phase transitions are typically retrieved via simple…

We discuss the limitations of the standard collinear approach. The kinematical approximations necessary to derive the collinear factorization are insufficient for the description of the exclusive final states. We argue that for a proper…
We propose a new integral based on Taylor measures, study its properties extensively, and we illustrate that it includes many concepts from mathematics as special cases. In particular, the new integral emerges as a generalization of the…
By means of the Ito-Nisio theorem, we introduce and discuss a general approach to series representations of path integrals. We then argue that the optimal basis for both ``primitive'' and partial averaged approaches is the Wiener…
Self-interacting diffusions are processes living on a compact Riemannian manifold defined by a stochastic differential equation with a drift term depending on the past empirical measure of the process. The asymptotics of this measure is…

We present a path integral formalism for quantising gravity in the form of the spectral action. Our basic principle is to sum over all Dirac operators. The approach is demonstrated on two simple finite noncommutative geometries: the…
We consider Feynman's path integral approach to quantum mechanics with a noncommutativity in position and momentum sectors of the phase space. We show that a quantum-mechanical system with this kind of noncommutativity is equivalent to the…
The Wigner function W(q,p) is formulated as a phase-space path integral, whereby its sign oscillations can be seen to follow from interference between the geometrical phases of the paths. The approach has similarities to the path-centroid…
The in-in path integral of a scalar field propagating in a fixed background is formulated in a suitable function space. The free kinetic operator, whose inverse gives the propagators of the in-in perturbation theory, becomes essentially…
