摘要：

On the basis of the principle that topological quantum phases arise from the scattering around space-time defects in higher-dimensional unification, a geometric model is presented that associates with each quantum phase an element of a transformation group. The model is exemplified for quantum phases in electromagnetism and gravitation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
