We discuss how symmetries and conservation laws are affected when Berry’s phase occurs in a quantum system: symmetry transformations of coordinates have to be supplemented by gauge transformations of Berry’s connection, and consequently constants of motion acquire terms beyond the familiar kinematical ones. We show how symmetries of a problem determine Berry’s connection, curvature and, once a specific path is chosen, the phase as well. Moreover, higher order corrections are also fixed. We demonstrate that in some instances Berry’s curvature and phase can be removed by a globally well-defined, time-dependent canonical transformation. Finally, we describe how field theoretic anomalies may be viewed as manifestations of Berry’s phase.

By using a second quantized formulation of level crossing, which does not assume adiabatic approximation, a convenient formula for geometric terms including off-diagonal terms is derived. The analysis of geometric phases is reduced to a simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the present formulation. If one diagonalizes the geometric terms in the infinitesimal neighborhood of level crossing, the geometric phases become trivial for any finite time interval T. The topological interpretation of Berry's phase such as the topological proof of phase-change rule thus fails in the practical Born–Oppenheimer approximation, where a large but finite ratio of two time scales is involved.
