Adiabatic driving and geometric phases in classical systems

Abstract

We study the concepts of adiabatic driving and geometric phases of classical integrable systems under the Koopman-von Neumann formalism. In close relation to what happens to a quantum state, a classical Koopman-von Neumann eigenstate will acquire a geometric phase factor exp{iΦ}exp\left\{ i\Phi\right\} after a closed variation of the parameters λ\lambda in its associated Hamiltonian. The explicit form of Φ\Phi is then derived for integrable systems, and its relation with the Hannay angles is shown. Additionally, we use quantum formulas to write a classical adiabatic gauge potential that generates adiabatic unitary flow between classical eigenstates, and we explicitly show the relationship between the potential and the classical geometric phase.
