| contents | We develop a mathematical formalism underlying the emergence of enantio-sensitive molecular orientation due to photoionization or photoexitation of chiral molecules. We consider geometric quantities such as the Berry connection and Berry curvature in light-driven chiral electronic states in the space of complex light polarization vectors. The parametric dependence of the light-driven electronic wavefunction on such vectors emerges due to various possible mutual orientations between the laser field and a chiral molecule. Using the tools of differential geometry we show how the enantio-sensitive observables emerge from the geometry of the molecular response in such spaces. |
