These lectures are intended as an introduction to the technique of path integrals and their applications in physics. The audience is mainly first-year graduate students, and it is assumed that the reader has a good foundation in quantum…

We derive some non-perturbative results in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions within the context of the particle path-integral representation for a Dirac field propagator in the presence of an external field, in a formulation introduced by Migdal in…

In this paper we analytically study the problem of pricing an arithmetically averaged Asian option in the path integral formalism. By a trick about the Dirac delta function, the measure of the path integral is defined by an effective action…

The overcompleteness of the coherent states basis leads to a multiplicity of representations of Feynman's path integral. These different representations, although equivalent quantum mechanically, lead to different semiclassical limits. Two…

Path integrals are a ubiquitous tool in theoretical physics. However, their use is sometimes hindered by the lack of control on various manipulations -- such as performing a change of the integration path -- one would like to carry out in…

The simplest (3+1)D Regge calculus model (with three-dimensional discrete space and continuous time) is considered which describes evolution of the simplest closed two-tetrahedron piecewise flat manifold in the continuous time. The measure…

This paper suggests a new way to compute the path integral for simple quantum mechanical systems. The new algorithm originated from previous research in string theory. However, its essential simplicity is best illustrated in the case of a…

A derivation of the Dirac equation in `3+1' dimensions is presented based on a master equation approach originally developed for the `1+1' problem by McKeon and Ord. The method of derivation presented here suggests a mechanism by which the…

For the case of reduction onto the non-zero momentum level, in the problem of the path integral quantization of a scalar particle motion on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with the given free isometric action of the compact semisimle…

The equivalence between the path integrals for first order gravity and the standard torsion-free, metric gravity in 3+1 dimensions is analyzed. Starting with the path integral for first order gravity, the correct measure for the path…

In this paper the Feynman path integral technique is applied to two-dimensional spaces of non-constant curvature: these spaces are called Darboux spaces $\DI$--$\DIV$. We start each consideration in terms of the metric and then analyze the…

We study the theory of systems with constraints from the point of view of the formal theory of partial differential equations. For finite-dimensional systems we show that the Dirac algorithm completes the equations of motion to an…

The problem of Relativistic Oscillator has been studied in the framework of Path Integral Monte-Carlo(PIMC) approach. Ultra-relativistic and non-relativistic limits have been discussed. We show that PIMC method can be effectively used for…

Quantum Dirac constraints in generic constrained system are solved by directly calculating in the one-loop approximation the path integral with relativistic gauge fixing procedure. The calculations are based on the reduction algorithms for…

We first study the linear eigenvalue problem for a planar Dirac system in the open half-line and describe the nodal properties of its solution by means of the rotation number. We then give a global bifurcation result for a planar nonlinear…

We develop analytical methods for nonlinear Dirac equations. Examples of such equations include Dirac-harmonic maps with curvature term and the equations describing the generalized Weierstrass representation of surfaces in three-manifolds.…

An effective approach for solving the three-dimensional Dirac equation for spherically symmetric local interactions, which we have introduced recently, is reviewed and consolidated. The merit of the approach is in producing Schrodinger-like…

We construct a worldline path integral for the effective action and propagator of a Dirac field in 2+1 dimensions in an Abelian gauge field background. Integrating over an auxiliary gauge group variable we derive a worldline action…

Path integral formulations for the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials in two- and three-dimen\-sional Euclidean space are presented. We mention all coordinate systems which separate the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials and state the…

A path integral is presented that solves a general class of linear second order partial differential equations with Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions. Elementary kernels are constructed for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
