We demonstrate that for the former the sign of the Berry phase factor for a spin $\f{1}{2}$ particle (hole) coupled to a slow subsystem (phonon) depends on both the strength of electron correlations and the characteristics of the closed paths, unlike the cases for the latter.4 pages RevTex, uses epsf,twocolumn, 3 embedded postscript figures, submitted to PRL, acknowledgement appendedQuantum PhysicsCondensed MatterBerry Phases with Real Hamiltonians With and Without a Many-body System as a Backgroundtext
