multiplication

The passage around this formula

Call $\Phi$[$\mathcal L_{\rm G}$]=m\,$\mathbf b$$\cdot$$\mathbf v$/$\hbar$ the loop’s phase debt : what the representation charges for a loop the classical group considered free. The loop invariant $\mathbf b$$\cdot$$\mathbf v$ carries units of $\mathrm{m^2\,s^{-1}}$ , exactly the units of $\hbar$/$\text{mass}$ , so $\Phi$ is dimensionless as a phase must be, and mass is recoverable from it as
