Description: This monograph deals with the geometrical and topological aspects associated with the quantization procedure, and it is shown how these features are manifested in anomaly and Berry Phase. This book is unique in its emphasis on the topological aspects of a fermion which arise as a consequence of the quantization procedure. Also, an overview of quantization procedures is presented, tracing the equivalence of these methods by noting that the gauge field plays a significant role in all these procedures, as it contains the ingredients of topological features. Audience: This book will be of value to research workers and specialists in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, particle physics and differential geometry.
