The resulting factorization enables summation of an infinite series to be carried out to yield an explicit formula for the time-ordered exponentials. The Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff formula and the nonabelian eikonal formula obtained previously are both special cases of this result.","PeriodicalId":409936,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Methods of Quantum Physics","volume":"38 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120889353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This situation can either be questioned or accepted. In this paper we offer a brief and introductory overview of how a flat phase space metric can be incorporated into a covariant, coordinate-free quantization procedure involving a continuous-time (Wiener measure) regularization of traditional phase space path integrals. Additionally we show how such procedures can be extended to incorporate systems with constraints and illustrate that extension for special systems.","PeriodicalId":409936,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Methods of Quantum Physics","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133894642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
