Abstract
The geometric phase in Dirac relativistic quantum theory is obtained in this paper. It is slightly different from Berry’s nonrelativistic result, and satisfies the invariance of the general Lorenz transformation in the relativistic quantum theory. This relativistic geometric phase can reduce to Berry’s expression when we adopt the nonrelativistic approximation.
