  Path integral formulation Encyclopedia
The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is a description of quantum theory which generalizes the action principle of classical mechanics.
However, the path integral formulation is also extremely important in direct application to quantum field theory, in which the "paths" or histories being considered are not the motions of a single particle, but the possible time evolutions of a field over all space.
In one philosophical interpretation of quantum mechanics, the "sum over histories" interpretation, the path integral is taken to be fundamental and reality is viewed as a single indistinguishable "class" of paths which all share the same events.

In mathematics, an abelian integral in Riemann surface theory is a function related to the indefinite integral of a differential of the first kind.
Logically speaking, therefore, an abelian integral should be a function such as f.
This is a natural step in the theory of integration to the case of integrals involving algebraic functions √A, where A is a polynomial of degree > 4.

 Introduction to "Taming Wild Extensions" of Lindsay N. Childs
The observation of {Ch87} for abelian extensions and {CM94} in general, was that for wild Galois extensions, if the associated order \frak A is a Hopf order in KG, then S is free of rank one over \frak A. Noether's theorem is the case where \frak A = RG.
This generalized Noether's theorem was perhaps the first general integral normal basis theorem for wildly ramified Galois extensions of local fields.
Mazur {Mz70} noted that describing all the possible abelian group schemes over the valuation ring of a local field "is a delicate matter", citing {TO70} as evidence.

 Algebraic groups   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
For the purposes of algebraic geometry over the complex numbers, an abelian variety is a complex torus (a torus of real dimension 2n that is a complex manifold) that is also a projective algebraic variety of dimension n, i.e.
An abelian function is a meromorphic function on an abelian variety, which may be regarded therefore as a periodic function of n complex variables, having 2n independent periods, equivalently, it is a function in the function field of an abelian variety.
For example there was much interest in the case of hyperelliptic integrals that may be expressed in terms of elliptic integrals: this comes down to asking that J is a product of elliptic curves, up to a finite-to-one mapping (called an isogeny of abelian varieties).

 The cyclicity problem for non-generic quadratic Hamiltonian systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Limit cycles bifurcating from an annulus filled by regular Hamiltonian cycles (or in a neighborhood of a non-degenerate center), are in general directly controlled by the zeros of the associated Abelian integrals.
This is now well understood for the quadratic Hamiltonian systems : the Abelian integrals have no more than 2 zeros in their whole domain of definition, which may be the union of two intervals.
In a recent work in collaboration with Chengzhi Li, we prove that the maximal number of limit cycles which bifurcate from the union of the 2-saddle-loops with respect to quadratic perturbations is two, in the reversible direction.

 Creation
Given an integral ideal I belonging to the maximal order of a number field, the ray class group modulo I is the quotient of the subgroup generated by the ideals coprime to I by the subgroup generated by the principal ideals generated by elements congruent to 1 modulo I and T if present.
The ray class group is returned as an abelian group A, together with a mapping between A and a set of representatives for the ray classes.
Let I be an integral ideal of an absolute maximal order and let T be a set of real places given by an increasing sequence containing integers i, 1 <= i <= r_1 where r_1 is the number of real zeros of the defining polynomial of the field.

 Abelian Integrals
Although her results were considered to be of little real importance at the time, Weierstrass still felt that the paper, demonstrated proof of a high level of mathematical competence.
By doing some work with this corollary she reduced the question of degeneracy to a question of whether or not there are Abelian integrals of first kind associated with f(x, y) = 0 which reduce to elliptic integrals.
This purely algebraic condition is far easier to work with than the transcendental ones given by Weierstrass and is the main achievement of this paper which was otherwise of little interest.

Weierstrass was really into Abelian integrals and worked to solve these equations and to simplify them.
Abelian Integrals "…are functions defined using certain types of definite integrals; in some sense they are generalizations of the familiar trigonometric functions" (Koblitz 242).
The partial differential equation she had was from the earlier works of her friend, Karl Weierstrass, to which he simplified the complex and made it clearer for others to understand for the future in mathematics concerning the motion or reflection of objects.

Jacobi based his theory on the integral u =int(0 to \varphi {d\varphi}\over \sqrt{1-k^2\sin^2\varphi}}, with a parameter k, between 0 and 1, called the modulus of the elliptic integral.
Abelian integrals are defined like elliptic integrals by u = \int(0 to v) R(t,\sqrt{f(t)})dt = I(v) where R(x,y) is a rational function of x and y, except that the function f is of a very general type which includes all polynomials.
In fact during her stay in Berlin she produced three outstanding papers; on differential equations, on Abelian integrals and on Saturn's rings, and managed to obtain a doctorate from the University of Gottingen.

The integral equations turn out to have the same mathematical form as those of the elementary lumped approximation, except that the components of the lumped circuit are replaced by the corresponding integral operators.
These lead to an eigenequation for the normal modes, the solution of which provides the basis functions from which the time domain response of the resonator is computed.

 Citebase - On the multiplicity of the hyperelliptic integrals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The reasoning goes as follows: we consider the analytic curve parameterized by the integrals along δ(t) of the n ``Petrov'' forms of H (polynomial 1-forms that freely generate the module of relative cohomology of H), and interpret the multiplicity of I(t) as the order of contact of γ(t) and a linear hyperplane of \textbf C
Using the Picard-Fuchs system satisfied by γ(t), we establish an algebraic identity involving the wronskian determinant of the integrals of the original form ω along a basis of the homology of the generic fiber of H. The latter wronskian is analyzed through this identity, which yields the estimate on the multiplicity of I(t).

 [ref] 17 Cyclotomic Numbers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Since the underlying basis of the external representation of cyclotomics is an integral basis (see Integral Bases for Abelian Number Fields), the subring of cyclotomic integers in a cyclotomic field is formed by those cyclotomics for which the external representation is a list of integers.
For example, square roots of integers are cyclotomic integers (see ATLAS irrationalities), any root of unity is a cyclotomic integer, character values are always cyclotomic integers, but all rationals which are not integers are not cyclotomic integers.
A special integral basis of cyclotomic fields is chosen that admits to obtain easily a conversion of arbitrary sums of roots of unity into the basis, as well as to reduce a cyclotomic represented w.r.t.

The Kontsevich integral of a knot is a graph-valued invariant which (when graded by the Vassiliev degree of graphs) is characterized by a universal property; namely it is a universal Vassiliev invariant of knots.
We use the 2-loop term of the Kontsevich integral to show that there are (many) knots with trivial Alexander polynomial which don't have a Seifert surface whose genus equals the rank of the Seifert form.
In 1999, Rozansky conjectured the existence of a rational presentation of the Kontsevich integral of a knot.

It's true that you can integrate functions taking values in an abelian group much more easily than you can functions taking values in a *nonabelian*, because when you integrate, you are basically adding a bunch of things up, and abelianness means you don't have to worry about what *order* to add them up in.
Physicists have tried to generalize gauge theory to situations where you take a kind of holonomy of something along a *higher-dimensional* surface, but for the most part they have failed miserably EXCEPT when the gauge group is *abelian*, since a higher- dimensional surface doesn't provide you with an ordering.

The algebra I wrote down on spr is the most general Lie algebra with an abelian ideal; an ideal means that [J,e]- e and [e,e] - e, and abelian that [e,e] = 0 (I cant find tilde on the Spanish keyboard).
I guess that we indeed agree what it means for H to take values in an abelian ideal of some algebra and for g to act on this algebra and hence on that ideal by automorphisms.
Once I wrote down some H^2(G,K) for G a current algebra (it’s the same thing as finding abelian extensions), by restriction from Askar Dzhumadildaev’s classification for G an algebra of vector fields, but I don’t know about H^3.
