Path Integrals for Quadratic Lagrangians on p-Adic and Adelic Spaces

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Feynman's path integrals in ordinary, p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics are considered. The corresponding probability amplitudes K(x",t";x′,t′) K(x^{"},t^{"};x',t') for two-dimensional systems with quadratic Lagrangians are evaluated analytically and obtained expressions are generalized to any finite-dimensional spaces. These general formulas are presented in the form which is invariant under interchange of the number fields R↔Qp{\mathbb R} \leftrightarrow {\mathbb Q}_p and Qp↔Qp′ , p≠p′{\mathbb Q}_p \leftrightarrow {\mathbb Q}_{p'} \, ,\, p\neq p'. According to this invariance we have that adelic path integral is a fundamental object in mathematical physics of quantum phenomena.
