We discuss the anomalous Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron gas subject to a spatially varying magnetization. This topological Hall effect (THE) does not require any spin-orbit coupling, and arises solely from Berry phase acquired by…
It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings for the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special…
Flat electronic bands are counterintuitive: with the electron velocity vanishing, our conventional notions of quasiparticle transport are no longer valid. We here study the quantum transport in the generalized families of perfectly flat…
We propose a powerful and convenient method to systematically design flat-band lattice models, which overcomes the difficulties underlying the previous method. Especially, our method requires no elaborate calculations, applies to arbitrary…
One novel arena for designing superconductors with high $T_C$ is the flat-band systems. A basic idea is that flat bands, arising from quantum mechanical interference, give unique opportunities for enhancing $T_C$ with (i) many…
We point out the possibility of nearly flat band with Chern number C=2 on the dice lattice in a simple nearest-neighbor tightbinding model. This lattice can be naturally formed by three adjacent $(111)$ layers of cubic lattice, which may be…
We propose a new formula that extracts the quantum Hall conductance from a single (2+1)D gapped wavefunction. The formula applies to general many-body systems that conserve particle number, and is based on the concept of modular flow: i.e.,…
The ordinary Hall effect is driven by the Lorentz force, while its anomalous counterpart occurs in ferromagnets. Here we show that the Berry curvature monopole of non-magnetic 2D spin-3/2 holes leads to a novel Hall effect linear in an…
We consider the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in a system of interacting electrons. Our formalism is valid for systems in the presence of an external magnetic field, as well as for systems with a nontrivial band topology. That is, the…
Unlike anomalous quantum Hall insulators, clean single-band chiral superconductors do not exhibit intrinsic Hall effect at the one-loop approximation. Finite ac Hall conductance was found to emerge beyond one-loop, such as with vertex…
We study point-contact tunneling in the integer quantum Hall state of bosons. This symmetry-protected topological state has electrical Hall conductivity equal to $2 e^2/h$ and vanishing thermal Hall conductivity. In contrast to the integer…
We review two rigorous results on the transport properties of weakly interacting fermionic systems on $2d$ lattices, in the linear response regime. First, we discuss the universality of the longitudinal conductivity for interacting…
Recent work has extended topological band theory to open, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, yet little is understood about how non-Hermiticity alters the topological quantization of associated observables. We address this problem by studying the…
When phase space coordinates are noncommutative, especially including arbitrarily noncommutative momenta, the Hall effect is reinvestigated. A minimally gauge-invariant coupling of electromagnetic field is introduced by making use of…
A flat band is nondispersive and formed under destructive interference. Although flat bands are found in various Hermitian systems, to realize a flat band in non-Hermitian systems is an interesting task. Here, we propose a flat band in a…
We propose an approach based on a generalized quantum mechanics to deal with the basic features of the intrinsic spin Hall effect. This can be done by considering two decoupled harmonic oscillators on the noncommutative plane and evaluating…
We study a generic two-dimensional hopping model on a honeycomb lattice with strong spin-orbit coupling, without the requirement that the half-filled lattice be a Topological Insulator. For quarter-(or three-quarter) filling, we show that a…
