Gaussian momentum integration in a phase-space path integral

Integrating each
momentum
in
a
quadratic
Hamiltonian
yields the configuration-
space
kinetic
action
and its
time
-slice normalization.
A
raw
d
p
measure
gives
2
πm
/Δ
t
; the normalized Fourier
measure
d
p
/
(
2
π
)
gives
m
/
(
2
π
Δ
t
)
. Dropping the
time
dependence changes the
quantum-mechanical propagator
.
