A quantal system in an eigenstate, of operators with a continuous nondegenerate eigenvalue spectrum, slowly transported round a circuit C by varing parameters in its Hamiltonian, will acquire a generalized geometrical phase factor. An…
It is shown that space-time may be not only in a state which is described by Riemann geometry but also in states which are described by Finsler geometry. Transitions between various metric states of space-time have the meaning of phase…
The second quantized approach to geometric phases is reviewed. The second quantization generally induces a hidden local (time-dependent) gauge symmetry. This gauge symmetry defines the parallel transport and holonomy, and thus it controls…
Geometric phases are a universal concept that underpins numerous phenomena involving multi-component wave fields. These polarization-dependent phases are inherent in interference effects, spin-orbit interaction phenomena, and topological…
