Fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. IV. Mixed states and evolution transport's curvature

We propose a new systematic fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The new form of the theory is equivalent to the usual one but it is in harmony with the modern trends in theoretical physics and potentially admits new generalizations in different directions. In it a pure state of some quantum system is described by a state section (along paths) of a (Hilbert) fibre bundle. It's evolution is determined through the bundle (analogue of the) Schr\"odinger equation. Now the dynamical variables and the density operator are described via bundle morphisms (along paths). The mentioned quantities are connected by a number of relations derived in this work. The present fourth part of this series is devoted mainly to the fibre bundle description of mixed quantum states. We show that to the conventional density operator there corresponds a unique density morphism (along paths) for which the corresponding equations of motion are derived. It is also investigated the bundle description of mixed quantum states in the different pictures of motion. We calculate the curvature of the evolution transport and prove that it is curvature free iff the values of the Hamiltonian operator at different moments commute.Comment: 14 standard (11pt, A4) LaTeX 2e pages.

Comments on: "Quantum mechanics as a gauge theory of metaplectic spinor fields" by M. Reuter [Int.J.Mod.Phys. A13 (1998), 3835-3884; hep-th/9804036]

We point out how some mathematically incorrect passages in the paper of M. Reuter can be formulated in a rigorous way. The fibre bundle approach to quantum mechanics developed in quant-ph/9803083, quant-ph/9803084, quant-ph/9804062, quant-ph/9806046, quant-ph/9901039, and quant-ph/9902068 is compared with the one contained in loc. cit.Comment: 11 standard (11pt, A4) LaTeX 2e pages.

Fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. 0. Preliminary considerations: Quantum mechanics from a geometric-observer's viewpoint

We propose a version of the non-relativistic quantum mechanics in which the pure states of a quantum system are described as sections of a Hilbert (generally infinitely-dimensional) fibre bundle over the space-time. There evolution is governed via (a kind of) a parallel transport in this bundle. Some problems concerning observables are considered. There are derived the equations of motion for the state sections and observables. We show that up to a constant the matrix of the coefficients of the evolution operator (transport) coincides with the matrix of the Hamiltonian of the investigated quantum system.Comment: 15 standard LaTeX 2e (11pt, A4) pages.

Fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. III. Pictures and integrals of motion

We propose a new systematic fibre bundle formulation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The new form of the theory is equivalent to the usual one but it is in harmony with the modern trends in theoretical physics and potentially admits new generalizations in different directions. In it a pure state of some quantum system is described by a state section (along paths) of a (Hilbert) fibre bundle. It's evolution is determined through the bundle (analogue of the) Schr\"odinger equation. Now the dynamical variables and the density operator are described via bundle morphisms (along paths). The mentioned quantities are connected by a number of relations derived in this work. In this third part of our series we investigate the bundle analogues of the conventional pictures of motion. In particular, there are found the state sections and bundle morphisms corresponding to state vectors and observables respectively. The equations of motion for these quantities are derived too. Using the results obtained, we consider from the bundle view-point problems concerning the integrals of motion. An invariant (bundle) necessary and sufficient conditions for a dynamical variable to be an integral of motion are found.Comment: 19 standard (11pt, A4) LaTeX 2e pages.

Fibre bundle formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics. I. Time-dependent approach

We propose a new fibre bundle formulation of the mathematical base of relativistic quantum mechanics. At the present stage the bundle form of the theory is equivalent to its conventional one, but it admits new types of generalizations in different directions. In the present first part of our investigation we consider the time-dependent or Hamiltonian approach to bundle description of relativistic quantum mechanics. In it the wavefunctions are replaced by (state) liftings of paths or sections along paths of a suitably chosen vector bundle over space-time whose (standard) fibre is the space of the wavefunctions. Now the quantum evolution is described as a linear transportation (by means of the evolution transport along paths in the space-time) of the state liftings/sections in the (total) bundle space. The equations of these transportations turn to be the bundle versions of the corresponding relativistic wave equations.Comment: 16 standard LaTeX pages.

A mathematical base for Fibre bundle formulation of Lagrangian Quantum Field Theory

The paper contains a differential-geometric foundations for an attempt to formulate Lagrangian (canonical) quantum field theory on fibre bundles. In it the standard Hilbert space of quantum field theory is replace with a Hilbert bundle; the former playing a role of a (typical) fibre of the letter one. Suitable sections of that bundle replace the ordinary state vectors and the operators on the system's Hilbert space are transformed into morphisms of the same bundle. In particular, the field operators are mapped into corresponding field morphisms.Comment: 12 LaTeX pages. The packages AMS-LaTeX and amsfonts are required.
