Abstract

For a many-body system of arbitrary dimension, we consider fermionic ground states of non-interacting Hamiltonians invariant under a C2C_2 cyclic group. The absolute difference Δ\Delta between the number of occupied symmetric and anti-symmetric single-particle states is an adiabatic invariant. We prove lower bounds on the configurational and the number entropy based on this invariant. In band insulators, the topological invariant Δ\Delta and the entropy bounds can be directly determined from high symmetry points in the Brillouin zone.
