Abstract

Analysis of the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) exactness in some homogeneous spaces is attempted. CPN as well as its noncompact counterpart DN,1 is studied. U(N+1) or U(N,1) based on the Schwinger bosons leads us to CPN or DN,1 path integral expression for the quantity tr e−iHT, with the aid of coherent states. The WKB approximation terminates in the leading order and yields the exact result provided that the Hamiltonian is given by a bilinear form of the creation and the annihilation operators. An argument on the WKB exactness to more general cases is also made.
