Path integral quantization of the Poisson-Sigma model
TLDR
In this paper, the authors apply the antifield quantization method of Batalin and Vilkovisky to the calculation of the path integral for the Poisson-Sigma model in a general gauge.Abstract:
We apply the antifield quantization method of Batalin and Vilkovisky to the calculation of the path integral for the Poisson-Sigma model in a general gauge. For a linear Poisson structure the model reduces to a nonabelian gauge theory, and we obtain the formula for the partition function of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory for closed oriented two-dimensional manifolds.read more

Wormholes in Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, a geometric path integral definition of wormhole partition functions in a general class of 1D quantum systems obtained by quantizing a phase space is introduced, and the partition function of the nfold wormhole is found to be identical to the n-th Renyi entropy of a thermal mixed state of the doubled system.
