Abstract

Adiabatic ZQZ_Q invariants by quantized Berry phases are defined for gapped electronic systems in dd-dimensions (Q=d+1Q=d+1). This series includes Polyacetylene, Kagome and Pyrochlore lattice respectively for d=1,2d=1,2 and 3. The invariants are quantum QQ-multimer order parameters to characterize the topological phase transitions by the multimerization. This fractional quantization is protected by the global ZQZ_Q equivalence. As for the chiral symmetric case, a topological form of the Z2Z_2-invariant is explicitly given as well.
