Gravitational Phase Operator and Cosmic Strings
J. Anandan
A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string wh…
REALITY AND GEOMETRY OF STATES AND OBSERVABLES IN QUANTUM THEORY
J. Anandan
The determination of the quantum state of a single system by protective observation is used to justify operationally a formulation of quantum theory on the quantum state space (pro…
TOPOLOGICAL PHASES AND THEIR DUALITY IN ELECTROMAGNETIC AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS
Jeeva Anandan
The duality found by Aharonov and Casher for topological phases in the electromagnetic field is generalized to an arbitrary linear interaction. This provides a heuristic principle…
REMARKS CONCERNING THE GEOMETRIES OF GRAVITY AND GAUGE FIELDS
Jeeva Anandan
An important limitation is shown in the analogy between the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the parallel transport on a cone. It illustrates a basic difference between gravity and gauge f…
