Conditional generalized analytic Feynman integrals and a generalized integral equation

Abstract

We use a generalized Brownian motion process to define a generalized Feynman integral and a conditional generalized Feynman integral. We then establish the existence of these integrals for various functionals. Finally we use the conditional generalized Feynman integral to derive a Schrödinger integral equation.

On path integral solutions of the Schrödinger equation, without limiting procedure

Maurice M. Mizrahi

Techniques for integration in function spaces which are not necessarily vector spaces are presented in the light of DeWitt-Morette’s recent redefinition of path integrals, which does not involve the usual limiting process, and is therefore free from the ambiguities inherent in this approach. General translated Gaussian measures defined by their Fourier transforms are introduced on various path spaces and used to derive generalized moments formulas, and what is essentially the Feynman–Kac formula for the expression of solutions of the Schrödinger equation as functional integrals.

Some Formulas for the Generalized Analytic Feynman Integrals on the Weiner Space

Hyun Soo Chung, David Skoug, Seung Jun Chang

In this paper, we define a new concept of analytic Feynman integral on theWiener space, which is called the generalized analytic Feynman integral, to explain various physical circumstances. Furthermore, we evaluate the generalized analytic Feynman integrals for several important classes of functionals.We also establish various properties of these generalized analytic Feynman integrals. We conclude the paper by giving several applications involving the Cameron-Storvick theorem and quantum mechanics.

A review on Feynman–Kac path integrals and their connection to various stochastic processes

Sumita Datta

Abstract Feynman developed the path integral approach to quantum mechanics as an alternative to wave or matrix mechanics that has found fruitful implementation in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and statistical physics. Despite its many successes, the usual Feynman path integral formalism suffers from a lack of mathematical rigor. Questions of mathematical rigor still exist, but Mark Kac provided a rigorous path integral approach to quantum mechanics. The Kac formulation for quantum systems is given in terms of Wiener measure for a path integral and employs the Brownian motion distribution. In this paper, we review the Feynman–Kac approach and other stochastic processes related to Brownian motion. We also give an account of the successes and difficulties we faced during our journey through numerical path integral problems involved in physics.

A mathematical theory of the Feynman path integral for the generalized Pauli equations

Wataru Ichinose

The definitions of the Feynman path integral for the Pauli equation and more general equations in configuration space and in phase space are proposed, probably for the first time. Then it is proved rigorously that the Feynman path integrals are well-defined and are the solutions to the corresponding equations. These Feynman path integrals are defined by the time-slicing method through broken line paths, which is familiar in physics. Our definitions of these Feynman path integrals and our results give the extension of ones for the Schrödinger equation.

The Feynman integral as a limit of complex measures

José L. Martínez-Morales

The fundamental solution of the Schrödinger equation for a free particle is a distribution. This distribution can be approximated by a sequence of smooth functions. It is defined for each one of these functions, a complex measure on the space of paths. For certain test functions, the limit of the integrals of a test function with respect to the complex measures, exists. We define the Feynman integral of one such function by this limit.

Constructing the Feynman integrand

D. C. Khandekar, Ludwig Streit
