The conventional correspondence basis for quantum dynamics is here replaced by a self-contained quantum dynamical principle from which the equations of motion and the commutation relations can be deduced. The theory is developed in terms of the model supplied by localizable fields. A short review is first presented of the general quantum-mechanical scheme of operators and eigenvectors, in which emphasis is placed on the differential characterization of representatives and transformation…

### Quantum action principle in curved space

AbstractSchwinger's action principle is formulated for the quantum system which corresponds to the classical system described by the LagrangianLc( $$\dot x$$ , x)=(M/2)gij(x) $$\dot x$$ i $$\dot x$$

### Extended invariance properties of quantum fields

SummaryThis is the first paper from a series in which the consequences of invariance of Quantum Field Theory under anf-parameter Lie group are investigated. Part I deals with the consequences of

### Subspace quantum mechanics and the variational principle

• Mathematics

This work is a continuation and extension of the delineation of the properties of a quantum subspace—a region of the real space of a molecular system bounded by a surface through which the flux in

### Quantum Field Theory Renormalization in Curved Space-Time

In these few lectures, I shall present a brief outline of a charged scalar field propagating in given background electromagnetic field and given space-time. The theory will be expressed in terms of

### The Theory of Quantized Fields. IV

The principal development in this paper is the extension of the eigenvalue-eigenvector concept to complete sets of anticommuting operators. With the aid of this formalism we construct a

### Realistic Approach of the Relations of Uncertainty of Heisenberg

Due to the requirements of the principle of causality in the theory of relativity, one cannot make a device for the simultaneous measuring of the canonical conjugate variables in the conjugate

The multisymplectic formalism of field theories developed by many mathematicians over the last fifty years is extended in this work to deal with manifolds that have boundaries. In particular, we
