Zitterbewegung and gravitational Berry phase

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Berry phases mix states of positive and negative energy in the propagation of fermions and bosons in external gravitational and electromagnetic fields and generate Zitterbewegung oscillations. The results are valid in any reference frame and to any order of approximation in the metric deviation.
