We solve time-sliced path integrals of one-dimensional Coulomb system in an exact manner. In formulating path integrals, we make use of the Duru-Kleinert transformation with Fujikawa's gauge theoretical technique. Feynman kernels in the momentum representation both for bound states and scattering states will be obtained with clear pole structure that explains the exactness of the path integral. The path integrals presented here can be, therefore, evaluated exactly by making use of Cauchy's integral theorem.
Exact Green's functions related to Dirac particle submitted to the combination of Aharonov-Bohm and Coulomb fields in (2+1) coordinate space are analytically calculated via path integral formalism in both global and local representations. The scattering normalized wavefunctions as well as the corresponding continuous energy eigenvalues are extracted following this approach. The interesting properties of the spinors are thus deduced after symmetrization. According to the symmetric form for the Green's function, it is shown that the equivalence with Dirac equation is undertaken with much ease. S…
BPS vortex systems on closed Riemann surfaces with arbitrary genus are embedded into two-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with matters. We turn on a background R-gauge fields to keep half of rigid supersymmetry (topological A-twist) on the curved space. We consider two complementary descriptions; Higgs and Coulomb branches. The path integral reduces to the zero mode integral by the localization in the Higgs branch. The integral over the bosonic zero modes directly gives an integral over the volume form of the moduli space, whereas the fermionic zero modes are compensated by an appr…

Virasoro conformal blocks are universal ingredients of correlation functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories (2d CFTs) with Virasoro symmetry. It is acknowledged that in the (classical) limit of large central charge of the Virasoro algebra and large external, and intermediate conformal weights with fixed ratios of these parameters Virasoro blocks exponentiate to functions known as Zamolodchikovs' classical blocks. The latter are special functions which have awesome mathematical and physical applications. Uniformization, monodromy problems, black holes physics, quantum gravity, enta…
