  1. A geometric approach to quantum mechanics.J. Anandan - 1991 - Foundations of Physics 21 (11):1265-1284.
    It is argued that quantum mechanics is fundamentally a geometric theory. This is illustrated by means of the connection and symplectic structures associated with the projective Hilbert space, using which the geometric phase can be understood. A prescription is given for obtaining the geometric phase from the motion of a time dependent invariant along a closed curve in a parameter space, which may be finite dimensional even for nonadiabatic cyclic evolutions in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Using the natural metric (...)

  • On Weyl geometry, random processes, and geometric quantum mechanics.Carlos Castro - 1992 - Foundations of Physics 22 (4):569-615.
    This paper discusses some of the technical problems related to a Weylian geometrical interpretation of the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations proposed by E. Santamato. Solutions to these technical problems are proposed. A general prescription for finding out the interdependence between a particle's effective mass and Weyl's scalar curvature is presented which leads to the fundamental equation of geometric quantum mechanics, $$m(R)\frac{{dm(R)}}{{dR}} = \frac{{\hbar ^2 }}{{c^2 }}$$ The Dirac equation is rigorously derived within this formulation, and further problems to be solved (...)
