Abstract

A measure-preserving formalism (MPF) is constructed and applied to spin/band models, which yield observations about pumping. It occurs at topological phase transition (TPT), i.e., a Z2Z_2-flip, suggesting that Z2Z_2 can imply bulk effects. The model's asymptotic behavior is analytically solved via MPF. The pumping probability is geometric, fractional, and has a ceiling of 12\frac{1}{2}. Intriguingly, theorems are proved about occurrence conditions, which are linked to the system's dimension and the distinction between rational and irrational numbers. Experimental detection is discussed.
