Some Aspects of Classical and Quantum Phases
arXiv:0907.1666 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/173/1/012020
Abstract
We study classical and quantum phases in the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer context. These include a classical astronomical case, the general dual description of the phases, a new "Paradox" connected to scattering Berry phase and its resolution and various elaboration of topological/geometrical/non-abelian phases.
