Chern insulator or quantum anomalous Hall state is a topological state with integer Hall conductivity but in absence of Landau level. It had been well established on various two-dimensional lattices with periodic structure. Here, we report…
We introduce a second-quantized field theory for Chern insulators in which the Hamiltonian features a static vector potential that has the periodicity of the crystal's lattice and spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry in the system's…
A striking general bound on the energy gap in topological matter was recently discovered in Ref. [Onishi and Fu, Phys. Rev. X {\bf 14}, 011052 (2024)]. A non-trivial indirect derivation builds on the properties of optical conductivity at an…
We introduce a new type of 3D compressible quantum phase, in which the U(1) charge conservation symmetry is weakly broken by a rigid string-like order parameter, and no local order parameter exists. We show that this gapless phase is…
