The zeta-regularization allows to establish a connection between Feynman's path integral and Fourier integral operator zeta-functions. This fact can be utilized to perform the regularization of the vacuum expectation values in quantum field…
It has recently been shown that vacuum expectation values and Feynman path integrals can be regularized using Fourier integral operator $\zeta$-function, yet the physical meaning of these $\zeta$-regularized objects was unknown. Here we…
Lattice field theory is a very powerful tool to study Feynman's path integral non-perturbatively. However, it usually requires Euclidean background metrics to be well-defined. On the other hand, a recently developed regularization scheme…
The Feynman Propagator of a charged particle confined to an anisotropic Harmonic Oscillator potential and moving in a crossed electromagnetic field is calculated in a conceptually new way. The calculation is based on the expansion of the…
Path integral quantization of quantum gauge general relativity is discussed in this paper. First, we deduce the generating functional of green function with external fields. Based on this generating functional, the propagators of…
A method to regularize and renormalize the fluctuations of a quantum field in a curved background in the $\zeta$-function approach is presented. The method produces finite quantities directly and finite scale-parametrized counterterms at…
These notes were inspired by the course ''Quantum Field Theory from a Functional Integral Point of View'' given at the University of Zurich in Spring 2017 by Santosh Kandel. We describe Feynman's path integral approach to quantum mechanics…
The path integral formulation in quantum mechanics corresponds to the first quantization since it is just to rewrite the quantum mechanical amplitude into many dimensional integrations over discretized coordinates $x_n$. However, the path…
The path integral approach to quantum mechanics provides a method of quantization of dynamical systems directly from the Lagrange formalism. In field theory the method presents some advantages over Hamiltonian quantization. The Lagrange…
Some well-known examples of constrained quantum systems commonly quantized via Feynman path integrals are re-examined using the notion of conditional integrators introduced in [1]. The examples yield some new perspectives on old results. As…
One of several possibilities to construct a quantum theory of gravity is employing the Feynman path integral. This approach is plagued by some problems: the integration measure is not uniquely defined, the Einstein-Hilbert action unbounded,…
Efforts to give an improved mathematical meaning to Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics started soon after its introduction and continue to this day. In the present paper, one common thread of development is followed…
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…
Relations and isomorphisms between quantum field theories in operator and functional integral formalisms are analyzed from the viewpoint of inequivalent representations of commutator or anticommutator rings of field operators. A functional…
We discuss path integrals for quantum mechanics with a potential which is a perturbation of the upside-down oscillator. We express the path integral (in the real time) by the Wiener measure. We obtain the Feynman integral for perturbations…
The concepts of phase space Feynman integrals in White Noise Analysis are established. As an example the harmonic oscillator is treated. The approach perfectly reproduces the right physics. I.e., solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation are…
Some symmetries can be broken in the quantization process (anomalies) and this breaking is signalled by a non-invariance of the quantum path integral measure. In this talk we show that it is possible to formulate also classical field…
We study parity violation in $2+1$-dimensional gauge theories coupled to massive fermions. Using the $\zeta$-function regularization approach we evaluate the ground state fermion current in an arbitrary gauge field background, showing that…
A possible connection between quantum computing and Zeta functions of finite field equations is described. Inspired by the 'spectral approach' to the Riemann conjecture, the assumption is that the zeroes of such Zeta functions correspond to…
An interesting example of the deep interrelation between Physics and Mathematics is obtained when trying to impose mathematical boundary conditions on physical quantum fields. This procedure has recently been re-examined with care. Comments…
