Abstract
We derive Feynman-Kac formulas for Dirichlet realizations of Pauli-Fierz operators
generating the dynamics of nonrelativistic quantum mechanical matter particles, which are minimally coupled to both classical and quantized radiation fields and confined to an arbitrary open subset of the Euclidean space. Thanks to a suitable interpretation of the involved Stratonovich integrals, we are able to retain familiar formulas for the Feynman-Kac integrands merely assuming local square-integrability of the classical vector potential and the coupling function in the quantized vector potential. Allowing for fairly general coupling functions becomes relevant when the matter-radiation system is confined to cavities with inward pointing boundary singularities.
