The path integral approach to quantum mechanics requires a substantial generalisation to describe the dynamics of systems confined to bounded domains. Non-local boundary conditions can be introduced in Feynman's approach by means of boundary amplitude distributions and complex phases to describe the quantum dynamics in terms of the classical trajectories. The different prescriptions involve only trajectories reaching the boundary and correspond to different choices of boundary conditions of selfadjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian. One dimensional particle dynamics is analysed in detail.

Confining kinks. $\zeta$-regularized one-loop kink mass shifts in exotic field theories
New soliton models ('confining kinks') have purely discrete perturbation spectra; their one-loop mass shifts, computed via zeta-function regularization, are finite and negative without vacuum subtractions.
