Holonomy and Landau–Type Quantization in Randers–Type Backgrounds

Abstract

Abstract We develop a geometric formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in Randers–type backgrounds based on the effective quantum connection induced by the Randers one-form. Starting from the classical Randers action, we derive the nonrelativistic Hamiltonian through the Legendre transformation and obtain the corresponding Schrödinger equation by canonical quantization. The resulting formalism naturally yields the kinetic momentum, probability current, effective force, and the curvature associated with the induced quantum connection. We show that the nontrivial quantum effects associated with the spatial effective connection are characterized by its local curvature and global holonomy, leading to three complementary geometric regimes. Globally trivial flat connections leave the local dynamics unchanged apart from uniform energy shifts, flat connections with nontrivial holonomy generate geometric phases, twisted boundary conditions, and persistent probability currents, whereas nonvanishing effective curvature gives rise to noncommuting kinetic momenta, Landau-type quantization, a characteristic geometric length, and curvature-controlled degeneracy. The formalism is further extended to nonuniform backgrounds through the first Born approximation, where the vector contribution to elastic scattering is shown to probe the transverse component of the effective connection and, consequently, the Fourier components of its effective curvature. These results provide a unified geometric framework for nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in Randers–type backgrounds and identify holonomy and effective curvature as the fundamental global and local mechanisms through which the induced quantum connection modifies quantum behavior.

Phase Connection, Curvature, and Quantum Geometry: A Covariant Schrödinger Framework

BORA AKTAŞ

Abstract We present a covariant extension of the Schrödinger framework in which the quantum phase is promoted to a geometric connection AμA_\muAμ on spacetime. The associated curvature Fμν=∂μAν−∂νAμF_{\mu\nu} = \partial_\mu A_\nu - \partial_\nu A_\muFμν=∂μAν−∂νAμ encodes local deviations from flat phase geometry and manifests as measurable spectral shifts and uncertainty modulation. This formulation unifies geometric and probabilistic interpretations of quantum mechanics by identifying phase curvature with the internal concave curvature of the quantum domain. Two minimal, testable models—a one-dimensional ring (Aharonov–Bohm type) and a two-dimensional constant-curvature plane (Landau-type quantization)—demonstrate how phase curvature translates into observable level spacing. The framework preserves probability conservation in admissible gauges and recovers standard quantum mechanics in the flat-phase limit.

Quantum Mechanics as Real Geometry: Curvature, Torsion, and Holonomy

Kwon, Se Kyun

While the complex formalism of quantum mechanics has been extraordinarily successful, the fundamental geometric origin of its core elements—the imaginary unit, operator non-commutativity, quantum phase, and the intrinsic geometry with quantum spin—has remained unresolved for more than a century. Here we resolve these foundational questions by deriving an exact and physically equivalent formulation of the Schrödinger equation as a Real Geometric Flow—a moving-frame evolution on a 2𝑁-dimensional real state space. In this restored framework, the global imaginary unit 𝑖 fully decomposes into a set of local skew-symmetric generators that drive planar rotations in real space, revealing that the traditional complex formalism is a compressed representation of an intrinsic rotational geometry.Within the real geometric flow, energy eigenvalues appear as the Curvatures of the state trajectory, energy gaps correspond to Torsions that couple internal planes—naturally generating the geometry of quantum spin—and quantum phase emerges naturally as the Holonomy of the real moving frame. This formulation preserves the full empirical content of quantum mechanics while exposing the geometric mechanisms hidden beneath its notation, providing the first coherent explanation of curvature, torsion, non-commutativity, spin behavior, and quantum phase within a single framework.By demonstrating that the algebraic postulates of quantum mechanics arise from a deeper geometric order—one that stands alongside curvature-based theories such as General Relativity—this work establishes a unified differential-geometric foundation for quantum dynamics.It opens new directions for quantum control, quantum information, and fundamental physics.

Junction from Phase Curvature to Spatial Curvature: A Fiber-Geometric Formulation

BORA AKTAŞ

Abstract Standard quantum mechanics represents global phase with a single U(1) structure and typically treats phase transport as geometrically trivial unless additional external structure is introduced. In multi-carrier phase algebras, however, closed phase evolution can exhibit intrinsic holonomy, implying a nontrivial internal connection and curvature on the phase fiber. This article isolates the geometric junction at which internal (phase-fiber) curvature becomes operationally accessible as an effective curvature on the base manifold governing spatial transport. The mechanism is formulated in connection-theoretic terms: an internal transport law induces an effective base-level connection acting on multi-component amplitudes, whose curvature controls measurable departures from flat propagation. We highlight three observable channels—loop-dependent phase transport, interferometric shifts, and semiclassical deflections—through which internal holonomy can be tested without assuming a curved metric a priori. The resulting framework provides a compact geometric interpretation of how spatial curvature may emerge as a projection of internal phase holonomy, and it delineates the conditions under which this projection becomes experimentally distinguishable.

NUVO Quantization III: Emergence of Quantum Mechanics from First Principles

Rickey Austin

We derive nonrelativistic quantum mechanics directly from NUVO scalar geometry without probabilistic postulates. Starting from the conformal metric g= λ 2 η and the conservation of sinertia flow, we obtain a deterministic scalar transport law whose stationary, closed-frame limit is the Schrödinger equation. Momentum and energy operators arise from the scalar-covariant derivative D μ = ∂ μ +i ∂ μ lnλ , canonical commutators follow from curvature [ D μ , D ν ]=i F μν , and the uncertainty relation is a local geometric bound. Planck’s constant appears as the calibrated scale of holonomy. Applications (hydrogenic levels, tunneling, spin holonomy, squeezing) illustrate how standard quantum phenomena emerge from curvature and holonomy of λ( x ) .

Phase-Connection Geometry and Non-Abelian Time Transport: A Curvature-Based Mechanism for Classicalization and Phase Dynamics

BORA AKTAŞ

Abstract We introduce a phase-geometric framework in which time evolution is governed by a covariant derivative defined over a multi-carrier phase space. The associated connection induces a non-abelian curvature whose holonomy generates measurable phase-transport effects. Within this unified geometric setting, the quantum–classical transition, phase-channel mixing, and time-transport anomalies arise from a single underlying mechanism. In contrast to conventional approaches, where gauge structures are imposed externally, the connection emerges intrinsically from the phase geometry itself. The framework yields calculable thresholds for classicalization and leads to novel, testable predictions based on curvature-induced phase holonomy.

Action, Holonomy, and the Geometry of Quantum Phase

Fredrik Jensen

Quantum mechanics is formulated in terms of complex phase and action-dependent amplitudes. In this work, quantum phase is identified with the holonomy of a geometric connection, and Planck's constant appears as the conversion scale between geometric transport and physical action. This provides a geometric formulation of quantum kinematics in which phase accumulation, noncommutativity, and quantization arise naturally from connection geometry and topology. This paper is Part I of a series which develops a geometric framework for quantum mechanics based on holonomy and transport structure. Subsequent papers develop operator representations and dynamical structure. This Zenodo record establishes priority and archival timestamp. Public release via arXiv is in progress.
