dc.description.abstract	We study the behaviour of the geometric phase under isometries of the ray space. This leads to a better understanding of a theorem first proved by Wigner: isometries of the ray space can always be realised as projections of unitary or anti-unitary transformations on the Hilbert space. We suggest that the construction involved in Wigner's proof is best .viewed as an use of the Pancharatnam connection to 'lift' a ray space isometry to the Hilbert space.	en
