In this second edition, a comprehensive review is given for path
integration in two- and three-dimensional (homogeneous) spaces of
constant and non-constant curvature, including an enumeration of
all the corresponding coordinate systems which allow separation of
variables in the Hamiltonian and in the path integral. The
corresponding path integral solutions are presented as a
tabulation. Proposals concerning interbasis expansions for
spheroidal coordinate systems are also given. In particular, the
cases of non-constant curvature Darboux spaces are new in this
edition.The volume also contains results on the numerical study of
the properties of several integrable billiard systems in compact
domains (i.e. rectangles, parallelepipeds, circles and spheres) in
two- and three-dimensional flat and hyperbolic spaces. In
particular, the discussions of integrable billiards in circles and
spheres (flat and hyperbolic spaces) and in three dimensions are
new in comparison to the first edition.In addition, an overview is
presented on some recent achievements in the theory of the Selberg
trace formula on Riemann surfaces, its super generalization, their
use in mathematical physics and string theory, and some further
results derived from the Selberg (super-) trace formula.
The Handbook of Feynman Path Integrals appears just fifty years
after Richard Feynman published his pioneering paper in 1948
entitled "Space-Time Approach to Non-Relativistic Quantum
Mechanics", in which he introduced his new formulation of quantum
mechanics in terms of path integrals. The book presents for the
first time a comprehensive table of Feynman path integrals together
with an extensive list of references; it will serve the reader as a
thorough introduction to the theory of path integrals. As a
reference book, it is unique in its scope and will be essential for
many physicists, chemists and mathematicians working in different
areas of research.
