Bargmann invariants, geometric phases and recursive parametrization with Majorana fermions

A generalized connection between the quantum mechanical Bargmann invariants and the geometric phases was established for the Dirac fermions. We extend that formalism for the Majorana fermions by defining proper quantum mechanical ray and Hilbert spaces. We then relate both the Dirac and Majorana typ...

Zusammenfassung:A generalized connection between the quantum mechanical Bargmann invariants and the geometric phases was established for the Dirac fermions. We extend that formalism for the Majorana fermions by defining proper quantum mechanical ray and Hilbert spaces. We then relate both the Dirac and Majorana type Bargmann invariants to the rephasing invariant measures of CP violation with the Majorana neutrinos, assuming that the neutrinos have lepton number violating Majorana masses. We then generalize the recursive parametrization for studying any unitary matrices to include the Majorana fermions, which could be useful for studying the neutrino mixing matrix.
