• Abstract: A particle that is constrained to freely move on a hyperspherical surface in an $N\left( \geq 2\right) $ dimensional flat space experiences a curvature-induced gauge potential, whose form was given long ago (J. Math. Phys. \textbf{34}(1993)2827). We demonstrate that the momentum for the particle on the hypersphere is the geometric one including the gauge potential and its components obey the commutation relations $\left[ p_{i},p_{j}\right] =-i\hbar J_{ij}/r^{2}$, in which $\hbar $ is the Planck's constant, and $p_{i}$ ($i,j=1,2,3,...N$) denotes the $i-$th component of the geometric momentum, and $J_{ij}$ specifies the $ij-$th component of the generalized\textit{\ angular momentum} containing both the orbital part and the coupling of the generators of continuous rotational symmetry group $% SO(N-1)$ and curvature, and $r$ denotes the radius of the $N-1$ dimensional hypersphere.

  We show how to reduce the geometry of degenerate states to the non-abelian connection $A$. We find independent invariants associated with each triple of subspaces. Some of them generalize the Berry-Pancharatnam phase, and some do not have analogues for 1-dimensional subspaces.

It is also shown that relativistic expressions for wave functions, energy spectra and group generators in the limit $ctoinfty $ go over into the corresponding expressions for the nonrelativistic problem.
