Quantized Berry Phases as Local Order Parameters of Quantum Liquids

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-06-25 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We propose to use quantized Berry phases as local order parameters of gapped quantum liquids, which are invariant under some anti-unitary operation. After presenting a general prescription, the scheme is applied for Heisenberg models with frustrations and two dimensional extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models associated with a random dimer covering. In each phases, the quantized Berry phases, as 0 or π\pi, describe the ground state texture pattern of local singlet bonds and dimer bonds. Also possible applications to large classes of correlated electron systems are discussed.
