What's the role of classically forbidden paths in path integral? It doesn't have to be the "smallest value of S", classical paths must only be extrema of the action functional |

Connection between Poisson Brackets and Symplectic Form Thanks for the clarification. It still doesn't make any sense to me why they chose such confusing way to present this, but at least I understand what happened now. I do have to say though that in my version of the book (also from 1998) the matrix you have in eq. 5.43 is for $ \Omega ^{-1}$ not $\Omega$, and as a result your matrix after "we conclude..." should be $ \Omega $. It doesn't change anything else you pointed out, but could create confusion for someone else. |

Connection between Poisson Brackets and Symplectic Form I do not see how you answered the confusion exposed on my post. I know the matrices representing the PB and the symplectic form are inverse to one another, the problem lies on their representation, i.e., in the (q,p) representation w^{ij} have to be the matrix elements of the symplectic matrix so we get the right expression for the PB (if the order of the \xi are q1,q2,p1,p2, for example). Whereas, if I use w_(ij) as the matrix elements of the inverse of omega to obtain the symplectic form I get (again in the q,p rep), w = - dq ^ dp instead of w = dq ^ dp. |

Number of conditions for a two-particle state to be decomposable $x$ is supposed to represent a three dimensional vector. Sorry if that was unclear, maybe I should have written it in bold. |

Phase shifts in scattering theory "For a typical potential" is a very vague statement. It would be better perhaps to say "in the limit of low energy scattering". |
