3 Reminder Non-degenerate levels Berry curvature: A n () d = B n ()d 1 d F B n () gauge invariant explicit form: B (n) A(n) () holds if [ A (n) ] (); A (n) () = 0! for Abelian gauge elds, i.e. non-degenerate levels
4 Occurrence of degeneracies In physics we can not avoid degeneracies, for example: Kramer's theorem We have to deal with degenerate states ) non-abelian gauge theory
5 Non-Abelian Gauge Theory Gauge elds in presence of degeneracies time-dependent Schrödinger equation H((t)) j n (t)i j n(t)i m n degenerate sublevels in subspace H n (t) set of parameters, varied in time (0) = i adiabatic theorem: By varying (t), subspaces do not cross each other j n;m (0)i H n are mapped to j n;m 0(T )i H n! (T ) = f
6 Non-Abelian Gauge Theory Gauge elds in presence of degeneracies j a (t)i set of basis functions of subspace H n choose locally H((t)) j a (t)i = 0 unitary U(t) maps those solutions to functions j a(t)i H n j a(t)i = U ab (t) j b (t)i ; j a(0)i! = j a (0)i j a(t)i remain normalized ) h bj@ t ai = 0, (U t U) ba = h b j@ t a i A ab A(t): gauge potential, depends on geometry of subspace n
7 Non-Abelian Gauge Theory Gauge elds in presence of degeneracies Gauge potential A ab = (U t U) ba ) U(t) = Pexp A( )d arbitrary transformation R(t) SO(m n ): j a (t)i! R(t) j a (t)i t R(t)R 1 (t) + R(t)A(t)R 1 (t) U(t)! R(t)U(t)R 1 (t) ) eigenvalues of mapping U : H n! H n between degenerate sublevels are gauge invariant, i.e. potentially observable m n = 1: U(t) = e i adds a simple phase factor
8 Non-Abelian Gauge Theory Gauge elds in presence of degeneracies Generalize gauge potential A(t) to parameter space M, where dim(m) = r: = ( 1 ; : : : ; r ) ) A T = i = h j@ j i Loop in parameter space ( i = f ) ) mapping between degenerate sates: Wilson loop U = Pexp A n d non-degenerate levels (m n = 1): U! Berry phase
9 Non-Abelian Gauge Theory Gauge elds in presence of degeneracies What is the curvature of A in case of existing degeneracies? non-degenerate levels: B (n) () = more A(n) () B = [D ; D ] D A : covariant derivative (D! R()D ) ) B = [D ; D ] = [@ A A ] A [A ; A ]
