Berry’s phase for compact Lie groups

Published May 1, 2001• 21 citations

Abstract

The methods of Kähler geometry are applied to generalize the results of Berry obtained for SU(2) (namely, the existence of a geometrical part in the adiabatic phase) to any compact Lie group. We obtain explicit expressions for Berry’s geometric phases, Berry’s connections, and Berry’s curvatures in terms of parameters of the corresponding Lie algebra valued Hamiltonian. It is demonstrated that the parameter space of the Hamiltonian in the general theory is essentially a homogeneous Kähler manifold. The fundamental Kähler potentials of this manifold completely determine Berry’s phase. A general approach is exemplified by the Lie algebra Hamiltonians corresponding to SU(2) and SU(3) evolution groups.

Berry's phase for compact Lie groups

Strahov, E

The Lie group adiabatic evolution determined by a Lie algebra parameter dependent Hamiltonian is considered. It is demonstrated that in the case when the parameter space of the Hamiltonian is a homogeneous K\\"ahler manifold its fundamental K\\"ahler potentials completely determine Berry geometrical phase factor. Explicit expressions for Berry vector potentials (Berry connections) and Berry curvatures are obtained using the complex parametrization of the Hamiltonian parameter space. A general approach is exemplified by the Lie algebra Hamiltonians corresponding to SU(2) and SU(3) evolution groups.

Berry phase in homogeneous Kähler manifolds with linear Hamiltonians

Luis J. Boya, A. M. Perelomov, Mariano Sant

We study the total (dynamical plus geometrical (Berry)) phase of cyclic quantum motion for coherent states over homogeneous Kähler manifolds X = G/H, which can be considered as the phase spaces of classical systems and which are, in particular cases, coadjoint orbits of some Lie groups G. When the Hamiltonian is linear in the generators of a Lie group, both phases can be calculated exactly in terms of classical objects. In particular, the geometric phase is given by the symplectic area enclosed by the (purely classical) motion in the space of coherent states. I.

Berry phase in homogeneous Kähler manifolds with linear Hamiltonians

Luis J. Boya, Askold M. Perelomov, Mariano Santander

We study the total [dynamical plus geometrical (Berry)] phase of cyclic quantum motion for coherent states over homogeneous Kähler manifolds X=G/H, which can be considered as the phase spaces of classical systems and which are, in particular cases, coadjoint orbits of some Lie groups G. When the Hamiltonian is linear in the generators of a Lie group, both phases can be calculated exactly in terms of classical objects. In particular, the geometric phase is given by the symplectic area enclosed by the (purely classical) motion in the space of coherent states.

Geometric phase, bundle classification, and group representation

Ali Mostafazadeh

The line bundles that arise in the holonomy interpretations of the geometric phase display curious similarities to those encountered in the statement of the Borel–Weil–Bott theorem of the representation theory. The remarkable relationship between the mathematical structure of the geometric phase and the classification theorem for complex line bundles provides the necessary tools for establishing the relevance of the Borel–Weil–Bott theorem to Berry’s adiabatic phase. This enables one to define a set of topological charges for arbitrary compact connected semisimple dynamical Lie groups. These charges signify the topological content of the phase. They can be explicitly computed. In this paper, the problem of the determination of the parameter space of the Hamiltonian is also addressed. It is shown that, in general, the parameter space is either a flag manifold or one of its submanifolds. A simple topological argument is presented to indicate the relation between the Riemannian structure on the parameter space and Berry’s connection. The results about the fiber bundles and group theory are used to introduce a procedure to reduce the problem of the nonadiabatic (geometric) phase to Berry’s adiabatic phase for cranked Hamiltonians. Finally, the possible relevance of the topological charges of the geometric phase to those of the non-Abelian monopoles is pointed out.

Algebraic approach and Berry phase of a Hamiltonian with a general SU (1, 1) symmetry

E. Choreño, R. Valencia, D. Ojeda-Guillén

In this paper, we study a general Hamiltonian with a linear structure given in terms of two different realizations of the SU(1, 1) group. We diagonalize this Hamiltonian by using the similarity transformations of the SU(1, 1) and SU(2) displacement operators performed to the su(1, 1) Lie algebra generators. Then, we compute the Berry phase of a general time-dependent Hamiltonian with this general SU(1, 1) linear structure.
