IDENTICAL PARTICLES AND STRONG DYNAMICAL LOCALIZATION ON THE MOBIUS STRIP

The classical and quantum versions of the kicked rotator with two iden tical particles are considered. The particle interaction is only throu gh identification and its configuration space is a Mobius strip. The c lassical dynamics presents no localization, except for particular init ial conditions. There is a family of possible quantizations for this s ystem and we pay special attention to the bosonic and fermionic cases. It is numerically found that the dynamical localization persists even though its classical counterpart is never localized. (C) 1998 Elsevie r Science B.V. All rights reserved.
