A path integral representation is given for the solutions of the 3+1 dimensional Dirac equation. The regularity of the trajectories, the non-relativistic limit and the semiclassical approximation are briefly mentioned.

Instead of imposing the Schr\"{o}dinger equation to obtain the configuration space propagator $\csprop$ for a quantum mechanical nonlinear sigma model, we directly evaluate the phase space propagator $\psprop$ by expanding the exponent and…

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…

A recent proposal to connect the loop quantization with the spin foam model for cosmology via the path integral is hereby adapted to the case of mechanical systems within the framework of the so called polymer quantum mechanics. The…

Background: Path integrals are a powerful tool for solving problems in quantum theory that are not amenable to a treatment by perturbation theory. Most path integral computations require an analytic continuation to imaginary time. While…

A form of the constraints, specifying a $D$-dimensional manifold embedded in $D+1$ dimensional Euclidean space, is discussed in the path integral formula given by a time discretization. Although the mid-point prescription is privileged in…

The existence of an observer independent minimum length scale can lead to the modification of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to the generalized uncertainty principle. This in turn would be responsible for the modification of the…

In the scalar light model given by Helmholtz' equation in R^{1+d} , we consider the transformation of an initial scene (a hologram) in {0}xR^d by an arbitrary affine transformation (which can be viewed as a propagation into a tilted…

A gauge invariant Hamiltonian representation for SU(2) in terms of a spin network basis is introduced. The vectors of the spin network basis are independent and the electric part of the Hamiltonian is diagonal in this representation. The…

In order to obtain a well-defined path integral one often employs discretizations. In the case of General Relativity these generically break diffeomorphism symmetry, which has severe consequences since these symmetries determine the…

The Feynman path integral has revolutionized modern approaches to quantum physics. Although the path integral formalism has proven very successful and spawned several approximation schemes, the direct evaluation of real-time path integrals…

We obtain wave functionals of free real and complex scalar fields on a 1+1 dimensional lattice by explicitly calculating the path integral for transition from one field configuration to another. The obtained expressions are useful for…

The so-called equation of motion method is useful to obtain the explicit form of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of certain non self-adjoint bosonic Hamiltonians with real eigenvalues. These operators can be diagonalized when they are…

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of both free particle and isotropic harmonic oscillator constrained to move on a spheroidal surface using two consecutive projections: a projection onto a sphere surface followed by the gnomonic…

The resolvent of supersymmetric Dirac Hamiltonian is studied in detail. Due to supersymmetry the squared Dirac Hamiltonian becomes block-diagonal whose elements are in essence non-relativistic Schr\"odinger-type Hamiltonians. This enables…

The phase-space path-integral approach to the damped harmonic oscillator is analyzed beyond the Markovian approximation. It is found that pairs of nonclassical trajectories contribute to the path-integral representation of the Wigner…

We have recently studied a simplified version of the path integral for a particle on a sphere, and more generally on maximally symmetric spaces, and proved that Riemann normal coordinates allow the use of a quadratic kinetic term in the…

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 is a revised version of our recent publication Faber et al., Phys. Rev. D62 (2000) 025019, hep-th/9907048. The main revision concerns the expansion into group characters that we have used for the evaluation of path integrals over…

We determine the solution of the fractional spatial diffusion equation in n-dimensional Euclidean space for a "free" particle by computing the corresponding propagator. We employ both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian approaches which produce…
