Abstract

We discuss a basic mathematical approach to Feynman path integrals as infinite-dimensional oscillatory integrals. We present new results on asymptotics of such integrals which exploit recently developed approximation techniques via finite dimensional oscillatory integrals. Applications are also given, namely to the study of the trace of the time evolution operator in quantum mechanics and to the interpretation of “Gutzwiller's trace formula” as a leading term in an asymptotic expansion around classical periodic orbits.
