Recently by using quantized Berry phases, a prescription for a local characterization of gapped topological insulators is given. One requires the ground state is gapped and is invariant under some anti-unitary operation. A spin liquid which…

The theory of the shift current is thus far geometrical without being topological. This means that the real-space displacement/shift of a photoexcited quasiparticle depends on the geometric Berry phase, but the Berry phase is not quantized…
