Evaluating Feynman Path Integrals via the Polynomial Path Family

ABSTRACT: We present a difficult and detailed calculation of propagators for
quadratic potentials using a filtration of the space of variational paths
around the classical path by the dense set of polynomial paths filtered by
degree. This presents evidence for a cohesive explanation of path integrals as
limits of finite-dimensional integrations using a sequence of filtration
measures determined for specific dense families of paths by the requirement
that the limit yield the free particle propagator.
