Abstract

top
In this work we consider non-relativistic quantum mechanics, obtained from a classical configuration space 𝒬 of indistinguishable particles. Following an approach proposed in [8], wave functions are regarded as elements of suitable projective modules over C ( 𝒬 ) . We take furthermore into account the G -Theory point of view (cf. [HPRS,S]) where the role of group action is particularly emphasized. As an example illustrating the method, the case of two particles is worked out in detail. Previous works (cf. [BR1,BR2]) aiming at a proof of a spin-statistics theorem for non-relativistic quantum mechanics are re-considered from the point of view of our approach, enabling us to clarify several points.
