This monograph arose from lectures delivered by the authors at the Winter School "Operator Spaces, Noncommutative probability and Quantum Groups", December 1-12, 2014, held at the Azuréva Métabief in the Jura Mountains in France.
Various holonomy phenomena are shown to be instances of the reconstruction procedure for mechanical systems with symmetry. We systematically exploit this point of view for fixed systems and for slowly moving systems in adiabatic context. For the latter, we obtain the phases as t…
