We introduce a new localization principle which is a generalized canonical transformation. It unifies BRST localization, the non-abelian localization principle and a special case of the conformal Duistermaat-Heckman integration formula of…
We review equivariant localization techniques for the evaluation of Feynman path integrals. We develop systematic geometric methods for studying the semi-classical properties of phase space path integrals for dynamical systems, emphasizing…
We review localization techniques for functional integrals which have recently been used to perform calculations in and gain insight into the structure of certain topological field theories and low-dimensional gauge theories. These are the…
By extending the new supersymmetric localization principle introduced in \cite{Choi:2021yuz}, we present a path integral derivation of the Selberg trace formula on arbitrary compact Riemann surfaces, including the case of arbitrary…
We study equivariant localization formulas for phase space path integrals when the phase space is a multiply connected compact Riemann surface. We consider the Hamiltonian systems to which the localization formulas are applicable and show…
We analyze the property of locality with respect to the framework for quantum mechanics based on the path integral formalism. As is well known, this framework makes the same experimental predictions as does the one based on a separable…
Recently a path integral formalism has been proposed by the author which gives the time evolution of moments of slow variables in a Hamiltonian statistical system. This closure relies on evaluating the informational discrepancy of a time…
The transparent way for the invariant (Hamiltonian) description of equivariant localization of the integrals over phase space is proposed. It uses the odd symplectic structure, constructed over tangent bundle of the phase space and permits…
This article is a result of the AIM workshop on Moment Maps and Surjectivity in Various Geometries (August 9 - 13, 2004) organized by T.Holm, E.Lerman and S.Tolman. At that workshop I was introduced to the work of T.Hausel and N.Proudfoot…
In this article we review the Duistermaat-Heckman integration formula and the ensuing equivariant cohomology structure, in the finite dimensional case. In particular, we discuss the connection between equivariant cohomology and classical…
We consider the problem of classifying trajectories on a discrete or discretised 2-dimensional manifold modelled by a simplicial complex. Previous works have proposed to project the trajectories into the harmonic eigenspace of the Hodge…
We to define a Path Integral in Lorentzian time by restricting the relevant domain of integration on $C([0,1],M)$ over a Riemannian configuration manifold $(M,g)$ and considering the dynamics of a particle evolving between to fixed…
A path integral formalism for non-equilibrium systems is proposed based on a manifold of quasi-equilibrium densities. A generalized Boltzmann principle is used to weight manifold paths with the exponential of minus the information…
We give here a covariant definition of the path integral formalism for the Lagrangian, which leaves a freedom to choose anyone of many possible quantum systems that correspond to the same classical limit without adding new potential terms…
We examine the problem of the evaluation of both the propagator and of the partition function of a spinning particle in an external field at the classical as well as the quantum level, in connection with the asserted exactness of the saddle…
We review the derivation of the Atiyah-Singer and Callias index theorems using the recently developed localization method to calculate exactly the relevant supersymmetric path integrals. (Talk given at the III International Conference on…
Stochastic localization is a pathwise analysis technique originating from convex geometry. This paper explores certain algorithmic aspects of stochastic localization as a computational tool. First, we unify various existing stochastic…
This paper provides a pedagogical introduction to the quantum mechanical path integral and its use in proving index theorems in geometry, specifically the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem and Lefschetz fixed point theorem. It also touches on some…
\(\Un{N}\) coherent states over Grassmann manifold, \(\grsmn{N}{n}\simeq\Un{N}/ (\Un{n}\times \Un{N-n})\), are formulated to be able to argue the WKB-exactness, so called the localization of Duistermaat-Heckman, in the path integral…
Localization methods are ubiquitous in cyclic homology theory, but vary in detail and are used in different scenarios. In this paper we will elaborate on a common feature of localization methods in noncommutative geometry, namely…
