Holstein-Primakoff Realizations on Coadjoint Orbits

We derive the Holstein-Primakoff oscillator realization on the coadjoint orbits of the $SU(N+1)$ and $SU(1,N)$ group by treating the coadjoint orbits as a constrained system and performing the symplectic reduction. By using the action-angle variables transformations, we transform the original variables into Darboux variables. The Holstein-Primakoff expressions emerge after quantization in a canonical manner with a suitable normal ordering. The corresponding Dyson realizations are also obtained and some related issues are discussed.Comment: 14 pages, Revtex, A minor revision is mad

Non-Abelian Chern-Simons Quantum Mechanics and Non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm Effect

We construct a classical action for a system of $N$ point-like sources which carry SU(2) non-Abelian charges coupled to non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge fields, and develop a quantum mechanics for them. Adopting the coherent state quantization and solving the Gauss' constraint in an appropriately chosen gauge, we obtain a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian given in terms of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection. Then we study the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effect, employing the obtained Hamiltonian for two-particle sector. An explicit evaluation of the differential cross section for the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm scattering is given.Comment: 32 pages, Revtex 2.0, two figures available upon request, SNUTP-93/8
