Path Integrals and Quantization

Abstract:

I will discuss Feynman's path integral interpretation of quantum mechanics over curved configurations spaces, i.e. Riemannian manifolds. We will see how curvature of the configuration space enters in the interpretation (and the ambiguity) of Feynman's path integral prescription.
