On the geometric representation of the path integral reduction Jacobian for a mechanical system with symmetry given on a manifold that is a product of the total space of the principal fiber bundle and the vector space

Abstract

For the Jacobian resulting from the previously considered problem of the path integral reduction in Wiener path integrals for a mechanical system with symmetry describing the motion of two interacting scalar particles on a manifold that is the product of a smooth compact finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold and a finite-dimensional vector space, a geometric representation is obtained. This representation follows from the formula for the scalar curvature of the original manifold endowed by definition with a free isometric smooth action of a compact semisimple Lie group. The derivation of this formula is performed using adapted coordinates, which can be determined in the principal fiber bundle associated with the problem under the study. These coordinates are similar to those used in the standard approach to quantization of Yang-Mills fields interacting with scalar fields.
