The guide to the guiding center aka pseudo-momentum operator construction

Abstract

The strictly gauge invariant approach to the construction of the analog of guiding center integrals of motion in spatially homogeneous/inhomogeneous constant magnetic fields is considered. With their help the gauge invariant equations, describing the wave functions of highly degenerate Landau levels in the classical non-relativistic case, are formulated. The proposed gauge-invariant approach was used also for the construction of the equations describing the quasi-relativistic carriers behavior in the homogeneous/inhomogeneous magnetic field in the single layer graphene.
