Berry phase in generalized chiral $QED_2$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-09-06 v1

Abstract

We consider the generalized chiral QED2QED_2 on S1S^1 with a U(1)U(1) gauge field coupled with different charges to both chiral components of a fermionic field. Using the adiabatic approximation we calculate the Berry phase and the corresponding U(1){\rm U}(1) connection and curvature for the vacuum and many particle Fock states. We show that the nonvanishing vacuum Berry phase is associated with a projective representation of the local gauge symmetry group and contributes to the effective action of the model.
