Popis: We consider quantum systems that have as their configuration spaces finite dimensional vector spaces over local fields. The quantum Hilbert space is taken to be a space with complex coefficients and we include in our model particles with internal symmetry. The Hamiltonian operator is a pseudo-differential operator that is initially only formally defined. For a wide class of potentials we prove that this Hamiltonian is well-defined as an unbounded self-adjoint operator. The free part of the operator gives rise to ameasure on the Skorokhod space of paths,D[0,∞), and with respect to this measure there is a path integral representation for the semigroup associated to the Hamiltonian. We prove this Feynman-Kac formula in the local field setting as a consequence of the Hille-Yosida theory of semi-groups.
