HAMILTONIAN PATH INTEGRAL QUANTIZATION IN ARBITRARY CO-ORDINATES AND EXACT PATH INTEGRATION

Abstract

We briefly review a hamiltonian path integral formalism developed earlier by one of us. An important feature of this formalism is that the path integral quantization in arbitrary co-ordinates is set up making use of only classical hamiltonian without addition of adhoc $\hbar^2$ terms. In this paper we use this hamiltonian formalism and show how exact path integration may be done for several potentials.
