We analyze the global theory of boundary conditions for a constrained quantum system with classical configuration space a compact Riemannian manifold M with regular boundary Γ=∂M. The space ℳ of self-adjoint extensions of the covariant Laplacian on M is shown to have interesting geometrical and topological properties which are related to the different topological closures of M. In this sense, the change of topology of M is connected with the nontrivial structure of ℳ. The space ℳ itself can be identified with the unitary group [Formula: see text] of the Hilbert space of boundary data [Formula: see text]. This description, is shown to be equivalent to the classical von Neumann's description in terms of deficiency index subspaces, but it is more efficient and explicit because it is given only in terms of the boundary data, which are the natural external inputs of the system. A particularly interesting family of boundary conditions, identified as the set of unitary operators which are singular under the Cayley transform, [Formula: see text] (the Cayley manifold), turns out to play a relevant role in topology change phenomena. The singularity of the Cayley transform implies that some energy levels, usually associated with edge states, acquire an infinity energy when by an adiabatic change the boundary conditions reaches the Cayley submanifold 𝒞_. In this sense topological transitions require an infinite amount of quantum energy to occur, although the description of the topological transition in the space ℳ is smooth. This fact has relevant implications in string theory for possible scenarios with joint descriptions of open and closed strings. In the particular case of elliptic self-adjoint boundary conditions, the space 𝒞_ can be identified with a Lagrangian submanifold of the infinite dimensional Grassmannian. The corresponding Cayley manifold 𝒞_ is dual of the Maslov class of ℳ. The phenomena are illustrated with some simple low dimensional examples.

An explicit calculation of the quantum nonlocal (QNL) polarizability of a metallic nanoparticle is presented, where two quantum longitudinal plasma waves are excited. The QNL generalization of the classical Clausius–Mossotti factor of the system is derived, by means of the quantum hydrodynamic theory in conjunction with the Poisson equation and applying the appropriate additional quantum boundary conditions.

In the design engineering of high performance electromagnetic lenses, the direct conversion of electron optical design data into drawings for reliable hardware is oftentimes difficult, especially in terms of how to mount parts to each other, how to tolerance dimensions, and how to specify finishes. An answer to this is in the use of magnetostatic analytics, corresponding to boundary conditions for the optical design. With such models, the magnetostatic force on a test pole along the axis may be examined, and in this way one may obtain priority listings for holding dimensions, relieving stresses, etc..The development of magnetostatic models most easily proceeds from the derivation of scalar potentials of separate geometric elements. These potentials can then be conbined at will because of the superposition characteristic of conservative force fields.
