contents Quantum particles under geometric constraints are sensitive to the geometry and topology of the underlying space. We analytically study the laser-driven nonlinear dynamics of a quantum particle whose motion is constrained to a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold embedded in a three-dimensional hyperspace. The geometry of space results in a potential-like term that supports bound states on the manifold. In the presence of a laser field, we derive expressions for a generalized Kramers-Henneberger-type unitary transformation which is shown to be generally space- and time-dependent, and deduce a Schrödinger-like equation in the Kramers-Henneberger frame. Compared to a flat (geometrically trivial) space, new time-averaged coefficients of differential operators and operator-valued perturbation terms appear which determine the geometry-dependent laser-dressed states on Riemannian manifolds.
