Coherent state path integral methods and central limit theorem

We consider a path integral in the phase space possibly with an influence functional in it and we use a method based on the use of the central limit theorem on the phase of the path integral representation to extract an equivalent expression which can be used in numerical calculations. Moreover we give conditions under which we can extract closed analytical results. As a specific application we consider a general system of two coupled and forced harmonic oscillators with coupling of the form x 1 x α 2 and we derive the relevant sign solved propagator.

A path-integral representation of central spin system immersed in an antiferromagnetic environment was investigated. To carry out this study, we made use of the discrete-time propagator method associated with a basic set involving coherent states of Grassmann variables which made it possible to obtain the analytical propagator which is the centerpiece of the study. In this study, we considered that the environment was in the low-temperature and low-excitation limit and was split into 2 subnets that do not interact with each other. The evaluation of our system was made by considering the first neighbor approximation. From the formalism of the path integrals, it is easy to evaluate the partition function and thermodynamic properties followed from an appropriate tracing over Grassmann variables in the imaginary time domain. We show that the energy of the system depends on the number of sites n when β → 0.

In the present paper on the one hand we apply the central limit theorem to the solution of the sign problem of a path integral of two-interacting particles in potential and give an expression for the sign solved propagator (SSP) derived from that solution and on the other hand we perform the angular decomposition of the path integrals of the 2D and 3D Helium atoms.Finally, we combine those two results and derive the SSPs of the 2D and 3D Helium atoms.
