Abstract

Feynman's path integrals in ordinary, p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics are considered. The corresponding probability amplitudes K(x",t";x,t) K(x^{"},t^{"};x',t') for two-dimensional systems with quadratic Lagrangians are evaluated analytically and obtained expressions are generalized to any finite-dimensional spaces. These general formulas are presented in the form which is invariant under interchange of the number fields RQp{\mathbb R} \leftrightarrow {\mathbb Q}_p and QpQp,pp{\mathbb Q}_p \leftrightarrow {\mathbb Q}_{p'} \, ,\, p\neq p'. According to this invariance we have that adelic path integral is a fundamental object in mathematical physics of quantum phenomena.
