Path integrals are a ubiquitous tool in theoretical physics. However, their use is sometimes hindered by the lack of control on various manipulations -- such as performing a change of the integration path -- one would like to carry out in the light-hearted fashion that physicists enjoy. Similar issues arise in the field of stochastic calculus, which we review to prepare the ground for a proper construction of path integrals. At the level of path integration, and in arbitrary space dimension, we not only report on existing Riemannian geometry-based approaches that render path integrals amenable to the standard rules of calculus, but also bring forth new routes, based on a fully time-discretized approach, that achieve the same goal. We illustrate these various definitions of path integration on simple examples such as the diffusion of a particle on a sphere.

Gaussian non relativistic spontaneously stochastic hydrodynamics
The paper proposes that non-relativistic incompressible hydrodynamics is the infrared limit of a Gaussian stochastic theory, with compressible-scale counterterms generating spontaneous stochasticity and anomalous dissipation.

Path integral analysis of Schr\"odinger-type eigenvalue problems in the complex plane: Establishing the relation between instantons and resonant states
Path integrals on complex contours that terminate in prescribed Stokes sectors yield spectral formulas for resonant energies, explaining why the instanton bounce calculation and real-time decay rates agree.

On the use of the Belopol'skaya-Daletskii representation of a diffusion on a Riemann manifold to construct path integrals
A Belopol'skaya-Daletskii (exponential-map) formulation yields the known scalar-curvature term R/6 in finite-dimensional path integrals for diffusions on Riemannian manifolds.
