This is an overview of Erlangen Programme at Large. Study of objects and properties, which are invariant under a group action, is very fruitful far beyond the traditional geometry. In this paper we demonstrate this on the example of the…
The basic framework for a systematic construction of a quantum theory of Riemannian geometry was introduced recently. The quantum versions of Riemannian structures --such as triad and area operators-- exhibit a non-commutativity. At first…

Quantum mechanics in Hilbert spaces of finite dimension $N$ is reviewed from the number theoretic point of view. For composite numbers $N$ possible quantum kinematics are classified on the basis of Mackey's Imprimitivity Theorem for finite…
We study equivariant localization formulas for phase space path integrals when the phase space is a multiply connected compact Riemann surface. We consider the Hamiltonian systems to which the localization formulas are applicable and show…
The review is devoted to topological global aspects of quantal description. The treatment concentrates on quantizations of kinematical observables --- generalized positions and momenta. A broad class of quantum kinematics is rigorously…
This article is an expository account aimed at viewing entanglement in finite-dimensional quantum many-body systems as a phenomenon of global geometry. While the mathematics of general quantum states has been studied extensively, this…
We reconsider the (non-relativistic) quantum theory of indistinguishable particles on the basis of Rieffel's notion of C*-algebraic (`strict') deformation quantization. Using this formalism, we relate the operator approach of Messiah and…
An algebraic treatment of shape-invariant potentials in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is discussed. By introducing an operator which reparametrizes wave functions, the shape-invariance condition can be related to a oscillator-like…
We show that it is possible to represent various descriptions of Quantum Mechanics in geometrical terms. In particular we start with the space of observables and use the momentum map associated with the unitary group to provide an unified…
We unify Brownian motion and quantum mechanics in a single mathematical framework. In particular, we show that non-relativistic quantum mechanics of a single spinless particle on a flat space can be described by a Wiener process that is…
Symmetries are a central concept in our understanding of physics. In quantum theories, a quantum reference frame (QRF) can be used to distinguish between observables related by a symmetry. The framework of operational QRFs provides a means…
