NORM CONVERGENCE OF THE LIE-TROTTER-KATO PRODUCT FORMULA AND IMAGINARY-TIME PATH INTEGRAL

  • Published : 2001.03.01

Abstract

The unitary Lie-Trotter-Kato product formula gives in a simplest way a meaning to the Feynman path integral for the Schroding-er equation. In this note we want to survey some of recent results on the norm convergence of the selfadjoint Lie-Trotter Kato product formula for the Schrodinger operator -1/2Δ + V(x) and for the sum of two selfadjoint operators A and B. As one of the applications, a remark is mentioned about an approximation therewith to the fundamental solution for the imaginary-time Schrodinger equation.
