We discuss the topological phase transition of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fermionic Haldane model with repulsive on-site interaction. We show that the Berry curvature of the topological Hamiltonian, the first Chern number, and the topological…

Condensed matter systems admit topological collective excitations above a trivial ground state, an example being Chern insulators formed by Dirac bosons with a gap at finite energies. However, in contrast to electrons, there is no…

Time-reversal symmetric topological insulator is a novel state of matter that a bulk-insulating state carries dissipationless spin transport along the surfaces, embedded by the $Z_2$ topological invariant. In the noninteracting limit, this…
