Abstract
It is known that Wiener and Feynman path integrals provide one way of making Feynman’s heuristic operational calculus for noncommuting operators mathematically rigorous. The disentangling process and associated operator orderings are central to Feynman’s ideas. We begin here to study the effects of time maps in clarifying the disentangling process and in altering the operator orderings in certain prescribed ways.
