Quantum mechanics on SD is formulated. The algebra of (D+1)-dimensional Euclidean group is set up as fundamental commutation relation, which plays the role of the ordinary canonical algebra on the flat space. Compared to the standard procedure of using Dirac’s formalism for quantization of the constrained system, our method leads to more general results. Monopolelike structure appears inside the SD, which becomes visible when the space is cut by 3-dimensional hyperplane. Gauge potential for this structure is obtained. We also show, that no higher dimensional singularity can appear inside the SD.
Non-relativistic quantum mechanics is formulated on the surface of a four-dimensional sphere (S3). It is shown that a point particle on S3 can automatically carry spin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
