We present models of topological insulating Hamiltonians exhibiting intrinsic altermagnetic features, protected by combined three-fold or four-fold rotational symmetries with time-reversal. We demonstrate that the spin Chern number serves…
The index theorem of Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of manifold with boundary is given by making use of the general decomposition theory of spin connection. We shows the sum of the total index of a vector field $\phi $ and half the total…
When the index bundle of a longitudinal Dirac type operator is transversely smooth, we define its Chern character in Haefliger cohomology and relate it to the Chern character of the $K-$theory index. This result gives a concrete connection…
Recent formal classifications of crystalline topological insulators predict that the combination of time-reversal and rotational symmetry gives rise to topological invariants beyond the ones known for other lattice symmetries. Although the…

Spin currents are key to spin torque devices, but determining the proper spin current is non-trivial. Here we derive a general quantum-mechanical formula for the intrinsic proper spin current showing that it is topological and can be finite…

We introduce a gauge invariant topological definition of monopole charge in pure SU(2) gluodynamics. The non-trivial topology is provided by hedgehog configurations of the non-Abelian field strength tensor on the two-sphere surrounding the…
The topological phases of two-dimensional time-reversal symmetric insulators are classified by a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ topological invariant. Usually, the invariant is introduced and calculated by exploiting the way time-reversal symmetry acts…

Second-order topological insulators can be characterized by their bulk polarization, which is believed to be intrinsically connected to the center of the Wannier function. In this study, we demonstrate the existence of second-order…
Topological invariants, including the Chern numbers, can topologically classify parameterized Hamiltonians. We find that topological invariants can be properly defined and calculated even if the parameter space is discrete, which is done by…
