AbstractWe analyze on the formalism of probabilities measures-functional integrals on function space the problem of infinities on Euclidean field theories. We also clarify and generalize our previous published studies on the subject.

This chapter presents an alternative approach to the quantization of fields, an approach that will be critically important for the development of quantum field theory in curved space, which is the subject of the second part of the book. It starts by providing a description of a functional integral in quantum mechanics, concentrating on the representation of an evolution operator. It then considers the functional representation of the Green functions and the generating functional in quantum field theory, including for fermionic theories. After that, perturbative calculations of the generating functionals and their general properties are formulated. The chapter ends with a brief description of ζ‎-regularization as a technique for defining functional determinants.
