Quantum mechanical path integrals in curved spaces and the type-A trace anomaly
Abstract Path integrals for particles in curved spaces can be used to compute trace anomalies in quantum field theories, and more generally to study properties of quantum fields coupled to gravity in first quantization. While their construction in arbitrary coordinates is well understood, and known...
