Abstract:
The paper provides a representation of canonical commutation relations (CCR) appearing in a non-Abelian gauge theory defined on a non-simply connected region in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. A necessary and sufficient condition is proven for the representation to be equivalent to the Schr\"odinger representation of CCR, and is formulated in terms of Wilson loops. Moreover, a representation inequivalent to the Schr\"odinger representation is shown to provide a mathematical expression for the non-Abelian, Aharonov-Bohm effect. Several properties of the Dirac--Weyl operator associated with the representation of CCR are also introduced.
