In this Reply we argue that (i) the Hamiltonian, Eq. (17) in our paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 070405 (2012)), is definitely Lorentz invariant; (ii) the conditions of generating topological Aharonov-Casher(AC) and Scalar Aharonov-Bohm (SAB)…
We reexamine the topological and nonlocal natures of the Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm phase effects. The underlying U(1) gauge structure is exhibited explicitly. And the conditions for developing topological Aharonov-Casher and…
It is shown that the molecular Aharonov-Bohm effect is neither nonlocal nor topological in the sense of the standard magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. It is further argued that there is a close relationship between the molecular Aharonov-Bohm…
The nonlocal and topological nature of the molecular Aharonov-Bohm (MAB) effect is examined for real electronic Hamiltonians. A notion of preferred gauge for MAB is suggested. The MAB effect in the linear + quadratic $E\otimes \epsilon$…
A recent paper by Peshkin [1] has drawn attention again to the problem of understanding the spin statistics connection in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Allen and Mondragon [2] has pointed out correctly some of the flaws in Peshkin's…
We construct a classical action for a system of $N$ point-like sources which carry SU(2) non-Abelian charges coupled to non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge fields, and develop a quantum mechanics for them. Adopting the coherent state…
Recent neutron interferometry experiments have been interpreted as demonstrating a new topological phenomenon similar in principle to the usual Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, but with the neutron's magnetic moment replacing the electron's…
By this Comment we would like to point out [2] that, though such consideration can be quite sophisticated, the consideration of a spin-pseudo-spin Hamiltonian has nothing in common with the reality. It means that such the consideration are…
The different forms of the Hamiltonian formulations of linearized General Relativity/spin-two theories are discussed in order to show their similarities and differences. It is demonstrated that in the linear model, non-covariant…
The Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect for quantum motion of a neutral magnetized particle in the electric field is believed to be a topological effect closely related to the known Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. We study how it depends on the spin of…
This letter is a critique of Barbero's constrained Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity on which current work in Loop Quantum Gravity is based. While we do not dispute the correctness of Barbero's formulation of general relativity,…
Building on the relativistic Hamiltonian of Sonnleitner and Barnett arXiv:1806.00234 and its post-Newtonian extensions by Schwartz and Giuilini arXiv:1908.06929, we investigate composite atomic systems in dynamical gravitational…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 106601], I. V. Tokatly addresses a non Abelian formulation of spin orbit interaction in condensed matter, restricting to a gauge symmetric scenario. In this comment we draw attention on the relevance…
The Hamiltonians of $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions can be expressed in terms of gauge invariant spatial geometric variables, i.e., metrics, connections and curvature tensors which are simple local functions of the…
In the framework of vector model of spin, we discuss the problem of a covariant formalism \cite{Pomeranskii1998} concerning the discrepancy between relativistic and Pauli Hamiltonians. We show how the spin-induced non commutativity of a…
Using the theory of self-adjoint extensions, we construct all the possible hamiltonians describing the non relativistic Aharonov-Bohm effect. In general the resulting hamiltonians are not rotationally invariant so that the angular momentum…
We couple the Hopf term to the relativistic $CP^1$ model and carry out the Hamiltonian analysis at the classical level. The symplectic structure of the model given by the set of Dirac Brackets among the phase space variables is found to be…
We briefly review the theoretical formulations and applications of the Aharonov--Bohm effect and the Aharonov--Casher effect with emphasis on mesoscopic physics. Topics relating to the Aharonov--Bohm effect include: locality, periodicity,…
Motivated by heavy ion collision experiments, we study the hydrodynamic properties of non-Abelian systems. These issues arise in condensed matter physics in the context of transport of spins in the presence of spin orbit coupling: the Pauli…
The nonrelativistic Hamiltonians of scalar, spinor and vector particles in the electromagnetic field are studied by applying the Douglas-Kroll-Hess approach. Their relativistic Hamiltonians are expanded on the potential, and the…
