We consider Dirac quasi-particles, as realized with cold atoms loaded in a honeycomb lattice or in a $\pi$-flux square lattice, in the presence of a weak correlated disorder such that the disorder fluctuations do not couple the two Dirac…
The selection rule on vibronic angular momentum of $t_{1u}^n \otimes h_g$ Jahn-Teller problem ($n = $ 1-5) is reinvestigated. It is shown that among three adiabatic orbitals only two have nonzero Berry phase. Thus, the Berry phase of…
We investigate the effect of the Berry phase on quadrupoles that occur for example in the low-energy description of spin models. Specifically we study here the one-dimensional bilinear-biquadratic spin-one model. An open question for many…
Berry phase was originally defined for systems whose states are separated by finite energy gaps. One might naively expect that a system without a gap cannot have a Berry phase. Despite this we ask whether a Berry phase can be observed in a…
The position operator (defined within Schroedinger representation as usual) becomes meaningless when the usual Born-von Karman periodic boundary conditions are adopted: this fact is at the root of the polarization problem. I show how to…
In this paper, we find the boundary dual of the symplectic form for the bulk fields in any entanglement wedge. The key ingredient is Uhlmann holonomy, which is a notion of parallel transport of purifications of density matrices based on a…
An effective Hamiltonian describing the surface states of a toroidal topological insulator is obtained, and it is shown to support both bound-states and charged zero-modes. Actually, the spin connection induced by the toroidal curvature can…
We calculate Berry's phase when the driving field, to which a spin-1/2 is coupled adiabatically, rather than the familiar classical magnetic field, is a quantum vector operator, of noncommuting, in general, components, e.g., the angular…
Geometric or Berry phases are fundamental manifestations that appear in many areas of physics. They arise from the geometry of the space describing the properties of multi-component wave fields. An important example for electromagnetic…
The level crossing problem is neatly formulated by the second quantized formulation, which exhibits a hidden local gauge symmetry. The analysis of geometric phases is reduced to a simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. If one…
We describe the geometric (Berry) phases arising when some quantum systems are driven by control classical parameters but also by outer classical stochastic processes (as for example classical noises). The total geometric phase is then…
We consider chiral, generally nonlinear density waves in one dimension, modelling the bosonized edge modes of a two-dimensional fermionic topological insulator. Using the coincidence between bosonization and Lie-Poisson dynamics on an…
I generalize the concept of Berry's geometrical phase for quasicyclic Hamiltonians to the case in which the ground state evolves adiabatically to an excited state after one cycle, but returns to the ground state after an integer number of…
The recent discovery of inconsistency (MS inconsistency) in the adiabatic approximation is discussed. In particular, the so-called, inconsistency in Berry phase is analyzed. On the contrary to some authors, we found that the MS…
The local two-dimensional Poincar\'e algebra near the horizon of an eternal AdS black hole, or in proximity to any bifurcate Killing horizon, is generated by the Killing flow and outward null translations on the horizon. In holography, this…

Nonlinear transport phenomena offer an exciting probe into the band geometry and symmetry properties of a system. While most studies on nonlinear transport have looked at second-order nonreciprocal responses in noncentrosymmetric systems,…
We introduce a new algebraic framework to describe gravitational scrambling, including the semiclassical limit of any out-of-time-order correlation function that is built out of operator insertions separated by approximately the scrambling…
