Abstract
A new formulation is proposed for the investigation of the non-adiabatic non-Abelian connection and phase factor by making use of the invariant theory and invariant-related unitary transformation method. In order to illustrate the formulation, we calculate the non-adiabatic non-Abelian connection and phase factor associated with the motion of a charged particle in a time-dependent magnetic field (the time-dependent Landau level problem).
