In spite of the primary role in the advancement of modern theoretical physics and the wide range of applications, path integrals are still a source of challenging problem for mathematicians. From this viewpoint, path integrals can be roughly described in terms of approximation formulas for an operator (usually the propagator of a Schrodinger-type evolution equation) involving a suitably designed sequence of operators. In keeping with the spirit of harmonic analysis, the guiding theme of the book is to illustrate how the powerful techniques of time-frequency analysis - based on the decomposition of functions and operators in terms of the so-called Gabor wave packets can be successfully applied to mathematical path integrals, leading to remarkable results and paving the way to a fruitful interaction. This monograph intends to build a bridge between the communities of people working in time-frequency analysis and mathematical/theoretical physics, and to provide an exposition of the present novel approach along with its basic toolkit. Having in mind a researcher or a Ph.D. student as reader, we collected in Part I the necessary background, in the most suitable form for our purposes, following a smooth pedagogical pattern. Then Part II covers the analysis of path integrals, reflecting the topics addressed in the research activity of the authors in the last years. 001448473 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 5, 2022). 001448473 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 001448473 650_0 $$aFeynman integrals. 001448473 650_0 $$aGabor transforms. 001448473 655_7 $$aLlibres electrònics.$$2thub 001448473 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448473 7001_ $$aTrapasso, S.
