A non-Grassmanian path integral representation is given for the solution of the Klein Gordon and the Dirac equations. The trajectories of the path integral are rendered differentiable by the relativistic corrections. The nonrelativistic limit is briefly discussed from the point of view of the renorm

Semiclassical trace formulas are examined using phase space path integrals. Our main concern in this paper is the Maslov index of the periodic orbit, which seems not fully understood in previous works. We show that the calculation of the Maslov index is reduced to a classification of connections on
We construct a new kind of path integral for the Dirac equation propagator, intended as an extension to 3 space dimensions of the Feynman ``checkerboard'' propagator. One form of this path integral is a ``projector path'' summation, out of which one can reconstruct standard 3D space and chirality. O
