quantum mechanics - Berry curvature in one dimensional parameter space


Berry curvature is defined by


$$\Omega_{n,\mu\nu}(R) = \frac{\partial A_{n,\nu}}{\partial R^{\mu}} - \frac{\partial A_{n,\mu}}{\partial R^{\nu}} $$ where $R$ is an parameter in hamiltonian. I think it is well defined if the dimension of parameter $R$ is more than 2. But what if the dimension of parameter $R$ is 1? Is it possible to say something about Berry curvature if the dimension of parameter is 1? If the dimension is 1, I think even the closed path integral for Berry phase is not well derfined.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
