An approximate evaluation of matrix-valued functional integrals generated by the relativistic Hamiltonian is considered. The method of evaluation of functional integrals is based on the expansion in the eigenfunctions of Hamiltonian generating the functional integral. To find the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues the initial Hamiltonian is considered as a sum of the unperturbed operator and a small correction to it, and the perturbation theory is used. The eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of the unperturbed operator are found using the Sturm sequence method and the reverse iteration method. This approach allows one to significantly reduce the computation time and the used computer memory compared to the other known methods.

Asymptotic expansions, employed in quantum physics as series of perturbation theory, appear as a result of the representation of functional integrals by power series with respect to coupling constant. To derive these series one has to change the order of functional integration and infinite summation. In general, this procedure is incorrect and is responsible for the divergence of the asymptotic expansions. In the present work, we suggest a method of construction of a new perturbation theory. In the framework of this perturbation theory, a convergent series corresponds to any physical quantity represented by a functional integral. The relations between the coefficients of these series and those of the asymptotic expansions are established.

A quantum Hamiltonian, defined on the half-line, will typically not lead to unitary time evolution unless the domain of the Hamiltonian is carefully specified. Different choices of the domain result in different Green’s functions. For a wide class of non-relativistic Hamiltonians we show how to define the functional integral on the half-line in a way which matches the various Green’s functions. To do so we analytically continue, in time, functional integrals constructed with real measures that give weight to paths on the half-line according to how much time they spend near the origin.

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.

We study the static gluon and quark propagator of the Hamiltonian approach to quantum chromodynamics in Coulomb gauge in one-loop Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory. We show that the results agree with the equal-time limit of the four-dimensional propagators evaluated in the functional integral (Lagrangian) approach.

In this letter, the method of the approximative calculation of functional integrals with any given accuracy1,2 is developed. Here we use the independence of the integrals on an auxiliary regularization parameter to simplify the calculations. Also we propose a modification of the method that proves to be more convenient for calculations with large values of coupling constants.

Approximate evaluation of functional integrals containing a centrifugal potential is considered. By a centrifugal potential is understood a potential arising from a centrifugal force. A combination of the method based on expanding into a series of the eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian generating a functional integral and the Sturm sequence method for the eigenvalue problem is used for approximate evaluation of functional integrals. This combination allows one to significantly reduce a computation time and a used computer memory volume in comparison to other known methods.
