Abstract: We continue our study of quantum dynamics on a Lie group $G$, initiated in arXiv:2512.19840, by building the path integral that governs transition amplitudes in the Hilbert space $L^2(G)$. This relies on the proper handling of both a noncommutative momentum space and the presence of compact directions in $G$. We show that compactness can be handled through a sum over winding numbers in maximal tori of $G$, generalizing the similar sum commonly encountered for path integrals on a circle. As applications, we compute semiclassical approximations of propagators and partition functions of Euler-Arnold systems, up to (and including) two-loop order.

Representation theory of Gaussian unitary transformations for bosonic and fermionic systems [0.0]
We analyze the behavior of the sign ambiguity that one needs to deal with when moving between the groups of the symplectic and special annihilation group. We show how we can efficiently describe group multiplications in the double cover without the need of going to a faithful representation on an exponentially large or even infinite-dimensional space.

Continuous percolation in a Hilbert space for a large system of qubits [58.720142291102135]
The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

Gaussian quantum information over general quantum kinematical systems I: Gaussian states [1.266953082426463]
We develop a theory of Gaussian states over general quantum kinematical systems with finitely many degrees of freedom. Our characterization reveals a topological obstruction to Gaussian state entanglement when we decompose the quantum kinematical system into the Euclidean part. We also examine angle-number systems with phase space $mathbbTntimesmathbbZn$ and fermionic/hardcore bosonic systems with phase space $mathbbZ2n$.
