Nov 24, 2018 at 5:42 comment added Martin Sleziak @wonderich I have asked for advice about these tags also in chat but I got no response so far. If you think that there should be a synonym, probably the best thing would be to post that suggestion in the thread on meta which was created for tag synonyms: Help improve tagging! (My main objection to the synonym is that the phrase path integral is commonly used also with different meaning.)
Nov 24, 2018 at 0:14 comment added wonderich "The basic idea of the path integral formulation can be traced back to Norbert Wiener, who introduced the Wiener integral for solving problems in diffusion and Brownian motion. This idea was extended to the use of the Lagrangian in quantum mechanics by P. A. M. Dirac in his 1933 article. A specific method was developed much later in 1948 by Richard Feynman."
Nov 23, 2018 at 15:50 comment added wonderich @Martin Sleziak, thanks, path integral is more general, I think we can merge (feynman-integral) into (path-integral).
Nov 23, 2018 at 13:41 comment added Francois Ziegler Witten (1991, Introduction) says the reason is not unitarity but positive energy.
Nov 23, 2018 at 7:18 comment added Martin Sleziak Are (feynman-integral) and (path-integral) two different things? (I just wonder whether we need two separate tags for them.) The tag (feynman-integral) already exists on the site.
