We review our previous work on the existence of Lorentz invariant Berry phases generated in the Stueckleberg–Horwitz–Piron manifestly covariant quantum theory (SHP), also reviewed here, by a perturbed four dimensional harmonic oscillator. These phases are associated with a fractional perturbation of the azimuthal symmetry of the oscillator. They are computed numerically by using time independent perturbation theory and the definition of the Berry phase generalized to the framework of the SHP relativistic quantum theory. In this paper, we give an explicit proof of the Lorentz invariance.
Nous démontrons, dans la théorie manifestement covariante quantique de Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron (SHP), l’existence de phases Berry invariantes de Lorentz générées par un oscillateur harmonique quatre-dimensionnel perturbé. Ces phases sont associées à une perturbation fractionnelle de la symétrie azimutale de l’oscillateur. Elles sont calculées numériquement à l’aide de la théorie des perturbations indépendates du temps et de la définition de la phase de Berry généralisée au cadre de la théorie quantique relativiste SHP. Ici, nous notons une preuve explicite de la invariance.
Key words: Berry Phase; Relativistic Quantum Mechanics; Induced Representation; 4D Relativistic Harmonic Oscillator.
