Recently, Chern vector with arbitrary formula $\textbf{C}\!=\!(\mathcal{C}_{yz},\mathcal{C}_{xz},\mathcal{C}_{xy})$ in three-dimensional systems has been experimentally realized [\B{Nature 609, 925 (2022)}]. Motivated by these progresses,…
The problem of nonintegrability of the circular restricted three-body problem is very classical and important in the theory of dynamical systems. It was partially solved by Poincare in the nineteenth century: He showed that there exists no…
In this paper, we introduce Berry curvature, topological Chern number and topological chiral edge mode, that emerge from a hybridization between magnon and electromagnetic wave in a ferromagnet insulator. By focusing on the energy…

Topologically ordered systems exhibit large-scale correlation in their ground states, which may be characterized by quantities such as topological entanglement entropy. We propose that the concept of irreducible many-body correlation, the…
We provide a short proof of the quantisation of the Hall conductance for gapped interacting quantum lattice systems on the two-dimensional torus. This is not new and should be seen as an adaptation of the proof of [1], simplified by making…
A quantum anomalous Hall state with high Chern number has so far been realized in multiplayer structures consisting of alternating magnetic and undoped topological insulator layers. However, in previous proposals, the Chern number can be…
The bulk-edge correspondence is a fundamental principle of topological wave physics, which states that the difference in gap Chern numbers between the interfaced materials is equal to the net number of topological edge modes. Although this…
Previous studies have shown that the bulk topology of single-particle systems can be captured by the band inversion surface or by the spin inversion surface emerged on the time-averaged spin polarization. Most of the studies, however, are…

A many--body Schr\"odinger equation for non--Abelian Chern--Simons particles is obtained from both point--particle and field--theoretic pictures. We present a particle Lagrangian and a field theoretic Lagrange density, and discuss their…
We present a novel analytical approach for the calculation of the mean density of states in many-body systems made of confined indistinguishable and non-interacting particles. Our method makes explicit the intrinsic geometry inherent in the…
The integral and fractional quantum Hall effects are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics in 1980s. The main results can be summarized in the conductance matrix. When the filling factor is an integer or some…
Efficient simulation of many-body quantum systems is central to advances in physics, chemistry, and quantum computing, with a key question being whether the simulation cost scales polynomially with the system size. In this work, we analyze…
We explore the non-equilibrium response of Chern insulators. Focusing on the Haldane model, we study the dynamics induced by quantum quenches between topological and non-topological phases. A notable feature is that the Chern number,…
In 2+1-dimensions (2+1D), a gapped quantum phase with no symmetry (i.e. a topological order) can have a thermal Hall conductance $\kappa_{xy}=c \frac{\pi^2 k_B^2}{3h}T$, where the dimensionless $c$ is called chiral central charge. If there…
It is well known that a nontrivial Chern number results in quantized Hall conductance. What is less known is that, generically, the Hall response can be dramatically different from its quantized value in materials with broken inversion…
Topological invariants built from the periodic Bloch functions characterize new phases of matter, such as topological insulators and topological superconductors. The most important topological invariant is the Chern number that explains the…
