The path integral on the pseudosphere

From MaRDI portal





A rigorous path integral treatment for the d-dimensional pseudosphere \(\Lambda^{d-1}\), a Riemannian manifold of constant negative curvature, is presented. The path integral formulation is based on a canonical approach using Weyl-ordering and the Hamiltonian path integral defined on midpoints. The time-dependent and energy-dependent Feynman kernels obtain different expressions in the even- and odd-dimensional cases, respectively. The special case of the three-dimensional pseudosphere, which is analytically equivalent to the Poincaré upper half plane, the Poincaré disc, and the hyperbolic strip, is discussed in detail including the energy spectrum and the normalized wave-functions.
