Geometric Phases in Classical and Quantum Mechanics

Geometric Phases in Classical and Quantum Mechanics by Dariusz Chruściński
English | PDF | 2004 | 346 Pages | ISBN : 081764282X | 22.5 MB

This work examines the beautiful and important physical concept known as the 'geometric phase,' bringing together different physical phenomena under a unified mathematical and physical scheme.
Several well-established geometric and topological methods underscore the mathematical treatment of the subject, emphasizing a coherent perspective at a rather sophisticated level. What is unique in this text is that both the quantum and classical phases are studied from a geometric point of view, providing valuable insights into their relationship that have not been previously emphasized at the textbook level.

Key Topics and Features:

• Background material presents basic mathematical tools on manifolds and differential forms.

• Topological invariants (Chern classes and homotopy theory) are explained in simple and concrete language, with emphasis on physical applications.

• Berry's adiabatic phase and its generalization are introduced.

• Systematic exposition treats different geometries (e.g., symplectic and metric structures) living on a quantum phase space, in connection with both abelian and nonabelian phases.

• Quantum mechanics is presented as classical Hamiltonian dynamics on a projective Hilbert space.

• Hannay’s classical adiabatic phase and angles are explained.

• Review of Berry and Robbins' revolutionary approach to spin-statistics.

• A chapter on Examples and Applications paves the way for ongoing studies of geometric phases.

• Problems at the end of each chapter.

• Extended bibliography and index.

Graduate students in mathematics with some prior knowledge of quantum mechanics will learn about a class of applications of differential geometry and geometric methods in quantum theory. Physicists and graduate students in physics will learn techniques of differential geometry in an applied context.
