Abstract
A definition of quantum mechanics on a manifold is proposed and a method to realize the definition is presented. This scheme is applicable to a homogeneous space . The realization is a unitary representation of the transformation group on the space of vector bundle-valued functions. When , there exist a number of inequivalent realizations. As examples, quantum mechanics on a sphere , a torus and a projective space are studied. In any case, it is shown that there are an infinite number of inequivalent realizations.
