On the geometrical representation of the path integral reduction Jacobian: The case of dependent coordinates in the description of the reduced motion

Abstract

The geometrical representation of the path integral reduction Jacobian obtained in the problem of the path integral quantization of a scalar particle motion on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with the given free isometric action of the compact semisimple Lie group has been found for the case when the local reduced motion is described by means of dependent coordinates. The result is based on the scalar curvature formula for the original manifold which is viewed as a total space of the principal fibre bundle.
