Abstract. In perturbative calculations of quantum-mechanical path integrals in curvilinear coordinates, one encounters Feynman diagrams involving multiple temporal integrals over products of distributions which are mathematically undefined. In addition, there are terms proportional to powers of Dirac $\delta$-functions at the origin coming from the measure of path integration. We derive simple rules for dealing with such singular terms from the natural requirement of coordinate independence…

We show that the requirement of coordinate invariance of perturbatively defined quantum-mechanical path integrals in curved space leads to an extension of the theory of distributions by specifying
Given an arbitrary Lagrangian function on Rd and a choice of classical path, one can try to define Feynman's path integral supported near the classical path as a formal power series parameterized by
One of the problems in distribution theory is the lack of definitions of products and powers of distributions in general. In this paper, we choose a fixed δ-sequence without compact support and the
