On the space L, of loops in the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a symplectic quantizable manifold, we define a closed Z-valued 1-form β¦. If β¦ vanishes, the prequantization map can be extended to a group representation. On L one can define an action integral as an R/Z-valued function, and
The time-dependent gauge transformation is discussed in the context of modified Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms in which time is treated as a dynamical coordinate. It is shown that Berry's phase is invariant under both time-dependent unitary and generalized gauge transformations. The Berry pha
