Projective Techniques and Functional Integration for Gauge Theories
A general framework for integration over certain infinite dimensional spaces is first developed using projective limits of a projective family of compact Hausdorff spaces. The procedure is then applied to gauge theories to carry out integration over the non-linear, infinite dimensional spaces of connections modulo gauge transformations. This method of evaluating functional integrals can be used...

A general framework for integration over certain innnite dimensional spaces is rst developed using projective limits of a projective family of compact Hausdorr spaces. The procedure is then applied to gauge theories to carry out integration over the non-linear, innnite dimensional spaces of connections modulo gauge transformations. This method of evaluating functional integrals can be used eith...
متن کاملFunctional Integration and Gauge Ambiguities in Generalized Abelian Gauge Theories
We consider the covariant quantization of generalized abelian gauge theories on a closed and compact n-dimensional manifold whose space of gauge invariant fields is the abelian group of CheegerSimons differential characters. The space of gauge fields is shown to be a non-trivial bundle over the orbits of the subgroup of smooth Cheeger-Simons differential characters. Furthermore each orbit itsel...
متن کاملA Review of Functional Integral Techniques for Low-Dimensional Gauge Theories and Topological Field Theories
We review localization techniques for functional integrals which have recently been used to perform calculations in and gain insight into the structure of certain topological field theories and low-dimensional gauge theories. These are the functional integral counterparts of the Mathai-Quillen formalism, the Duistermaat-Heckman theorem, and the Weyl integral formula respectively. In each case, ...
