Abstract
The problem of summation over Feynman histories in polar coordinates is discussed. Ordinary rules of calculus are used in conjunction with a Hamiltonian approach to the summation over histories. The procedure is checked by evaluating the propagator for a free particle in two dimensions.Keywords
