Probabilistic and Geometric Languages in the Context of the Principle of Least Action
This paper explores the issue of the unification of three languages of
physics, the geometric language of forces, geometric language of fields or
4-dimensional space-time, and probabilistic language of quantum mechanics. On
the one hand, equations in each language may be derived from the Principle of
Least Action (PLA). On the other hand, Feynman's path integral method could
explain the physical meaning of PLA. The axioms of classical and relativistic
mechanics can be considered as consequences of Feynman's formulation of quantum
mechanics.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figures; translation from Russian correcte
