In this paper, it is pointed out that the Berry's phase is a good index of degree of no-commutativity of the quantum statistical model. Intrinsic relations between the `complex structure' of the Hilbert space and Berry's phase is also…
The theory of topological phases of matter predicts invariants protected only by crystalline symmetry, yet it has been unclear how to extract these from microscopic calculations in general. Here we show how to extract a set of many-body…
