ABSTRACT:

In a word, this project plans to study applications of infinite dimensional analysis ( Gaussian and Poisson) and its perturbations to statistical mechanics and quantum field theory through Gibbs states and Feynman integrals, respectively.
 
ON THE POISSON ANALYSIS WE PLAN:
- jump type and birth and dead type dynamics in continuum,
- large time asymptotic of interacting jump type process,
- characterize invariant measures using the technique of Georgii for diffusion dynamics,
- describe physical systems with further internal degrees of freedom through the concept of marked configurations.
 
ON THE FEYNMAN INTEGRALS WE PLAN:
- Combining the harmonic oscillator with the Westerkamp--Kuna class of rapidly growing potentials. The construction of the corresponding
- Feynman integrands is in particular of interest for going into the direction of quantum field theory,
- In particular we plan to identify tau-functionals, i.e. the generating functional of time ordered (field) expectations as Fourier Gauss transforms of White Noise distributions.
- Realizing and generalizing the complex scaling ansatz of Doss for constructing solutions to the Schrödinger equation.
- We emphasize that as a particular goal of this research we intend to develop methods for models where as in quantum field theory perturbation expansions fail to exist.
