The construction called here the "Cartier Bridge" will be published in a Note aux Compte-Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences by P. Cartier and C. Dewitt-Morette. In the years to come the authors will write a book on functional integration and test the proposed axiomatic on many problems of physical interest.
