Covariant quantizations in plane and curved spaces

João Luis Meloni Assirati, Dmitri M Gitman

We present covariant quantization rules for nonsingular finite-dimensional classical theories with flat and curved configuration spaces. In the beginning, we construct a family of covariant quantizations in flat spaces and Cartesian coordinates. This family is parametrized by a function $$\omega (\theta )$$ , $$\theta \in (1,0)$$ , which describes an ambiguity of the quantization. We generalize this construction presenting covariant quantizations of theories with flat configuration spaces but already with arbitrary curvilinear coordinates. Then we construct a so-called minimal family of covariant quantizations for theories with curved configuration spaces. This family of quantizations is parametrized by the same function $$\omega (\theta ).$$ Finally, we describe a more wide family of covariant quantizations in curved spaces. This family is already parametrized by two functions, the previous one $$\omega (\theta )$$ and by an additional function $$\varTheta (x,\xi )$$ . The above mentioned minimal family is a part at $$\varTheta =1$$ of the wide family of quantizations. We study constructed quantizations in detail, proving their consistency and covariance. As a physical application, we consider a quantization of a non-relativistic particle moving in a curved space, discussing the problem of a quantum potential. Applying the covariant quantizations in flat spaces to an old problem of constructing quantum Hamiltonian in polar coordinates, we directly obtain a correct result.

Holonomic control operators in quantum completely integrable Hamiltonian systems

Gennadi Aleksandrovich Sardanashvily

We provide geometric quantization of a completely integrable Hamiltonian system in the action-angle variables around an invariant torus with respect to the angle polarization. The carrier space of this quantization is the pre-Hilbert space of smooth complex functions on the torus. A Hamiltonian of a completely integrable system in this carrier space has a countable spectrum. If it is degenerate, its eigenvalues are countably degenerate. We study nonadiabatic perturbations of this Hamiltonian by a term depending on classical time-dependent parameters. It is originated by a connection on the parameter space, and is linear in the temporal derivatives of parameters. One can choose it commuting with a degenerate Hamiltonian of a completely integrable system. Then the corresponding evolution operator acts in the eigenspaces of this Hamiltonian, and is an operator of parallel displacement along a curve in the parameter space.

In the beginning, we construct a family of covariant quantizations in flat spaces and Cartesian coordinates.

This family is already parametrized by two functions, the previous one ω(θ)\omega (\theta )ω(θ) and by an additional function Θ(x,ξ)\varTheta (x,\xi )Θ(x,ξ) . The above mentioned minimal family is a part at Θ=1\varTheta =1Θ=1 of the wide family of quantizations. We study constructed quantizations in detail, proving their consistency and covariance. As a physical application, we consider a quantization of a non-relativistic particle moving in a curved space, discussing the problem of a quantum potential.
