Abstract

Extended Schwinger's quantization procedure is used for constructing quantum mechanics on a manifold with a group structure. The considered manifold MM is a homogeneous Riemannian space with the given action of isometry transformation group. Using the identification of MM with the quotient space G/HG/H, where HH is the isotropy group of an arbitrary fixed point of MM, we show that quantum mechanics on G/HG/H possesses a gauge structure, described by the gauge potential that is the connection 1-form of the principal fiber bundle G(G/H,H)G(G/H, H). The coordinate representation of quantum mechanics and the procedure for selecting the physical sector of states are developed.
