Geometric phase and chiral anomaly; their basic differences

All the geometric phases are shown to be topologically trivial by using the second quantized formulation. The exact hidden local symmetry in the Schr{o}dinger equation, which was hitherto unrecognized, controls the holonomy associated with both of the adiabatic and non-adiabatic geometric phases. The second quantized formulation is located in between the first quantized formulation and the field theory, and thus it is convenient to compare the geometric phase with the chiral anomaly in field theory. It is shown that these two notions are completely different.
