Schwarzian functional integrals calculus

Abstract

We derive the general rules of functional integration in the theories of Schwarzian type, thus completing the elaboration of Schwarzian functional integrals calculus initiated in [, ]. Our approach is mathematically rigorous and does not contain any unproved conjectures. It is based on the analysis of the properties of the measures on the groups of diffeomorphisms, and does not appeal for the experience from other physical models. Its great merit consists in reducing a problem of functional integration to that of the only functional integral () that is calculated explicitly with the result written in the form of the ordinary integral. We evaluate two-point and four-point correlation functions defined as functional integrals over the groups and , and discuss the difference between the results in the two cases.
