Overview
This monograph deals with the geometrical and topological aspects associated with the quantization procedure, and it is shown how these features are manifested in anomaly and Berry Phase. This book is unique in its emphasis on the topological aspects of a fermion which arise as a consequence of the quantization procedure. Also, an overview of quantization procedures is presented, tracing the equivalence of these methods by noting that the gauge field plays a significant role in all these procedures, as it contains the ingredients of topological features.Audience: This book will be of value to research workers and specialists in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, particle physics and differential geometry.

Deals with the geometrical and topological aspects associated with the quantization procedure, and shows how those features are manifested in anomaly and the Berry Phase. Unlike other treatments of quantization, emphasizes the topological aspects of a fermion that arise as a consequence of the quantization procedure. Also overviews those quantization procedures, tracing the equivalence of the methods by noting that the gauge field plays a significant role in all of them because it contains the ingredients of topological features. Addressed to researchers in mathematical physics, quantum field theory, particle physics, and differential geometry. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
