The abstract, sentence by sentence
Sum-over-histories quantization of particle-like theory in curved space is discussed. It is reviewed that the propagator satisfies the Schrodinger equation respective wave equation with a Laplace-like operator. The exact dependence of the operator on the choice of measure is shown. Next, modifications needed for a manifold with a boundary are introduced, and the exact form of the equation for the propagator is derived. It is shown that the Laplace-like operator contains some distributional terms localized on the boundary. These terms induce proper boundary conditions for the propagator. This choice of boundary conditions is explained as a consequence of a measurement of particles on the boundary. The interaction with sources inside of the domain and sources on the boundary is also discussed.

Original abstract
Sum-over-histories quantization of particle-like theory in curved space is discussed. It is reviewed that the propagator satisfies the Schrodinger equation respective wave equation with a Laplace-like operator. The exact dependence of the operator on the choice of measure is shown. Next, modifications needed for a manifold with a boundary are introduced, and the exact form of the equation for the propagator is derived. It is shown that the Laplace-like operator contains some distributional terms localized on the boundary. These terms induce proper boundary conditions for the propagator. This choice of boundary conditions is explained as a consequence of a measurement of particles on the boundary. The interaction with sources inside of the domain and sources on the boundary is also discussed.
