Abstract

Feynman integrands are constructed as Hida distributions. For our approach we first have to construct solutions to a corresponding Schroedinger equation with time-dependent potential. This is done by a generalization of the Doss approach to time-dependent potentials. This involves an expectation w.r.t. a complex scaled Brownian motion. As examples polynomial potentials of degree $4n+2, n\in\mathbb N,$ and singular potentials of the form $\frac{1}{|x|^n}, n\in\mathbb N$ and $\frac{1}{x^n}, n\in\mathbb N,$ are worked out.

Abstract We review some basic notions and results of White Noise Analysis that are used in the construction of the Feynman integrand as a generalized White Noise functional. We show that the Feynman integrand for the harmonic oscillator in an external potential is a Hida distribution.

In this note the concepts of path integrals and techniques how to construct them are presented. Here we concentrate on a White Noise approach. Combining White Noise techniques with a generalized time‐dependent Doss' formula Feynman integrands are constructed as white noise distributions beyond perturbation theory.

Feynman Integrals

In this chapter we will describe very briefly an important application of white noise distribution theory to Feynman integrals. This application was first discussed by Hida and Streit in [ 168 ]. We will explain the basic ideas of white noise approach to Feynman integrals and carry out explicit calculations for some simple cases. For recent developments, see de Falco and Khandekar [ 27 ], de Faria et al. [ 29 ], the book by Hida et al. [ 58 ], and Khandekar and Streit [ 79 ].
