Description

We study classical and quantum phases in the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer context. These include a classical astronomical case, the general dual description of the phases, a new 'Paradox' connected to scattering Berry phase and its resolution and various elaboration of topological/geometrical/non-abelian phases.
