Abstract
We develop a new adiabatic theorem for unique gapped ground states which does not require the gap for local Hamiltonians. We instead require a gap in the bulk and a smoothness of expectation values of sub-exponentially localized observables in the unique gapped ground state . This requirement is weaker than the requirement of the gap of the local Hamiltonians, since a uniform spectral gap for finite dimensional ground states implies a gap in the bulk for unique gapped ground states, as well as the smoothness.
