Feynman's Operational Calculus and Beyond: Noncommutativity and Time-Ordering

by Lance Nielsen, Michel L Lapidus, Gerald W. Johnson, et al.

This book is aimed at providing a coherent, essentially self-contained, rigorous and comprehensive abstract theory of Feynman's operational calculus for noncommuting operators. Although it is inspired by Feynman's original heuristic suggestions and time-ordering rules in his seminal 1951 paper An operator calculus having applications in quantum electrodynamics, as will be made abundantly clear in the introduction (Chapter 1) and elsewhere in the text,...
