Collective-coordinate quantization
ID: collective-coordinate-quantization
Quantizing a moduli-space approximation gives wavefunctions with measure and, under the minimal scalar ordering, the Hamiltonian operator , where is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Global identifications, statistics and regularity supply additional restrictions on wavefunctions. Curvature-dependent ordering terms or quantum corrections are extra choices, not determined by the classical kinetic energy alone.
