A covariant approach to the quantisation of a rigid body
M. Modugno, C. Tejero Prieto, R. Vitolo
This paper concerns the quantisation of a rigid body in the framework of ``covariant quantum mechanics'' on a curved spacetime with absolute time. The basic idea is to consider the…
The geometry of Newton's law and rigid systems
M. Modugno, R. Vitolo
We start by formulating geometrically the Newton's law for a classical free particle in terms of Riemannian geometry, as pattern for subsequent developments. In fact, we use this s…
Hermitian vector fields and special phase functions
Josef Janyška, Marco Modugno
We start by analysing the Lie algebra of Hermitian vector fields of a Hermitian line bundle. Then, we specify the base space of the above bundle by considering a Galilei, or an Ein…
Graded Lie algebra of Hermitian tangent valued forms
Josef Janyška, Marco Modugno
In the theory of so called "Covariant Quantum Mechanics" a basic role is played by Hermitian vector fields on a complex line bundle in the frameworks of Galilei and Einstein spacet…
