Description
A simple framework to deal with path integrals in curved spaces is presented. The phase space path integral representation of the propagator is constructed in terms of an effective Hamiltonian which differs from the classical one by terms of order (h/2π). The general expression for this quantum correction is derived by using the Weyl ordering for non-commuting operators. When the propagator is expressed as a Lagrangian path integral with an invariant measure an additional correction is introduced. (author). 11 refs
