Gauge invariance of a QFT path integral

If we consider the usual formal construction of a path integral over fields with gauge symmetries e.g as in Weinbergs "The Quantum Theory of Fields - Volume 2" the notion of gauge invariance ...

Finding a unitary operator on L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{2},dxdy)

I have a one parameter (r) family of self-adjoint representations of the universal enveloping algebra of some nilpotent Lie group on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{2},dxdy)$ as follows: $$\hat{X}^{r}=\hat{x}-i(r-...
