Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals. It is thus perhaps best to view spin foam models as a novel way of defining a (regularised) path integral in quantum gravity. Anomalies, renormalization group, lattice theory, etc. Can be considered also in the framework of operator formalism, because Green functions can be defined in it. Need for renormalisation - Anomalous magnetic moment - Lamb shift - Ward-Takahashi identity, Furry's theorem - Global and local symmetries. The subject of this paper is not to discuss the divergence problem but to clarify concretely the pathological aspects of the perturbative or path-integral approach in 2d quantum gravity. With water, as the pressures are raised even higher this anomalous temperature/pressure/volume property completely disappears experimentally. By an appropriate chiral transformation of the fermion fields, because due to the chiral anomaly, this transformation induces a contribution to the fermion path integral measure proportional to the $ heta$ term Lagrangian. Even without a clear-cut link to the canonical spin network quantisation programme, it is conceivable that At present, anomalies between real observed physics phenomena and the mathematical models are swept under the carpet. And some people have the cheek to speculate on SUSY and other unobservables. Path integrals were published by Richard Feynman in 1948, drawing from the work of P.A.M. I was reading through my notes on the path integral quantization of bosonic string theory when a general question about path integral quantization. A problem which occured to me is that if the quantum paths are really “weighted” by the $exp( iS_p)$, it only makes sense if $mathrm{Re}(S_p) = 0$ and $mathrm{Im}(S_p)neq0$. Sure you can plug the Einstein-Hilbert action into a path integral, but the result is not a consistent quantum theory. What I am emphasizing is that it is quite dangerous to make . That's why there is (or was) much joy and merriment about string theory, just to mention the usual suspect. If this were not the case, the Finally, in a calculation of the Weyl anomaly and the critical dimension, the professor quantizes the ghost fields.
