Line bundles and integrality conditions in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory

Dae Gyu Choi

A complete theory for the line bundle structure in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory is given. This includes a general method for constructing curvature terms and flat connection terms. The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the integrality condition is obtained. The role of torsion parts in the first homology group of the configuration space is clarified. A possible extension to the higher dimensional vector bundle and its physical meanings are considered, too. Finally many physically interesting applications are given to illustrate our theory_ In particular, the local and global anomalies and other related topics including Berry's phase are discussed.

Canonical group quantization on non-cotangent bundle phase space and its application in quantum information theory

Ahmad Sumadi, Ahmad Hazazi

Spin quantization has always been an interesting intrinsic feature in quantum mechanics. This thesis discussed the holomorphic polarization method, motivated by geometric quantization, in a new formulation of canonical group quantization on noncotangent bundle phase space to produce spin quantization. The first part focuses on determining the one-dimensional complex projective space CP1 as a compact phase space and a special unitary group of degree two SU(2) as its canonical group that is not in the semi-direct product form. The emergence of the hidden discrete symmetry which is not deducible from the Lie algebraic structure of SU(2) indicates that it is the double-covering group. Thus its global structure is determined through the lifting SU(2) action on the fibre bundle over phase space. The second part focuses on the quantization process with the holomorphic wavefunction determined through the holomorphic local section of the fibre bundle and the natural polarization arises through the unitary irreducible representation of SU(2) that does not follow Mackey’s induced representation theory. From the representation operators, a set of spin angular momentum operators is generated as complex differential operators associated with a connection-type term l from action on holomorphic wavefunctions. Such representation operators’ matrix elements and characters are determined as Jacobi polynomials and its application in describing the single-qubit pure state is discussed. In conclusion, it is shown that the holomorphic polarization naturally emerged in the canonical group quantization on non-cotangent bundle phase space and has its application in quantum information theory which arises geometrically from the quantization problem.
