Can we apply 'Quantization' only from motion equation ?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of quantization directly from the equation of motion, specifically the equation F(𝑝̇ₐ, 𝑞ₐ) = 0, without utilizing the Lagrangian framework. Participants explore the potential of expressing the integral of the Lagrangian as a Zeta function evaluated at s=1, suggesting that functional integration problems may be addressed through Zeta regularization. A reference is provided for further reading on this topic, highlighting the intersection of quantum mechanics and mathematical physics.

Can we apply 'Quantization' only from motion equation ??

Supposing you have the equation of motion (in terms of momenta and position)

F(\dot p_{a} , q_{a})=0

then can you obtain the 'Quantum analogue' without the intervention of the Lagrangian ?

and another question could we regard the expression

\int \mathcal D[q(t)] e^{-\int_{a}^{b}dt \mathcal L (q, \dot q , t)}

as a 'Zeta function' of something evaluated at a point s=1 where

\int_{a}^{b}dt \mathcal L (q, \dot q , t)} =logM[q(t)]

being M another functional, so the problems involving Functional integration (if not all many of them) could be sovled by Zeta regularization.
