10 Feynman path integral Action S(p) = T mẋ V (x)dt the integral of the classical Lagrangian along path p. Contribution of p to probability amplitude for transition between two states is e i S(p). Total probability amplitude obtained by summing over all possible paths connecting A & B. B A Formal solution to Schrödinger eqn at time T is exp( i HT )ψ 0 where H = 2 2m 2 + V (x). Transition amplitude from ψ 0 to final state ψ f is ψf exp( i HT )ψ 0. Breaking T into infinitesimal time steps leads to the path integral.

17 Two particles in space X. Alternative approaches: Quantize X 2 and restrict Hilbert space to symmetric and anti-symmetric subspaces. Bose-Einstein/Fermi-Dirac statistics. ψ(x 1, x 2 ) = ±ψ(x 2, x 1 ) (1) Treat particles as indistinguishable, ψ(x 1, x 2 ) ψ(x 2, x 1 ). Quantize configuration space, C 2 (X ) = ( X 2 ) /S 2. (2)
18 Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics In R 3 using the relative coordinate, at a constant separation the configuration space C 2 (R 3 ) is the projective plane. Exchanging particles corresponds to traveling around a closed loop p in C 2. On the projective plane p is not contractible but p 2 is contractible. To associate a phase e iθ to p requires (e iθ ) 2 = 1 or e iθ = ±1. Quantizing C 2 with a phase 1 associated to exchange paths corresponds to Fermi-Dirac statistics while a phase +1 corresponds to Bose-Einstein statistics.
19 Fermi-Dirac statistics are only consistent with multi-particle states constructed from different single-particle states. The electron has Fermi-Dirac statistics
