It is widely accepted that topological quantities are useful to describe quantum liquids in low dimensions. The (spin) Hall conductances are typical examples. They are expressed by the Chern numbers, which are topological invariants given…

Band topology of anomalous quantum Hall insulators can be precisely addressed by computing Chern numbers of constituent non-degenerate bands that describe quantized, Abelian Berry flux through two-dimensional Brillouin zone. Can Chern…

Chern number is usually characterized by Berry curvature. Here, by investigating the Dirac model of even-dimensional Chern insulator, we give the general relation between Berry curvature and quantum metric, which indicates that the Chern…

We propose an efficient numerical method to compute the $k$-space second Chern number in four-dimensional (4D) topological systems. Our approach employs an adaptive mesh refinement scheme to evaluate the Brillouin-zone integral, which…

The Berry curvature in Chern insulators appears to be a non-gauge-invariant quantity and does not immediately allow local length characterization. However, in two examples of 2- and 3-band models that we discuss, we find high-symmetry…

We obtain the band structure of a particle moving in a magnetic spin texture, classified by its chirality and structure factor, in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. This rich interplay leads to a variety of novel topological phases…

We study the relation between Chern numbers and Quantum Phase Transitions (QPT) in the XY spin-chain model. By coupling the spin chain to a single spin, it is possible to study topological invariants associated to the coupling Hamiltonian.…

Wannier interpolation is a powerful tool for performing Brillouin zone integrals over dense grids of $\mathbf{k}$ points, which are essential to evaluate such quantities as the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity or Boltzmann transport…

The celebrated work of Niu, Thouless, and Wu demonstrated the quantization of Hall conductance in the presence of many-body interactions by revealing the many-body counterpart of the Chern number. The generalized Chern number is formulated…

We study the ground-state topology and quasiparticle properties in bosonic Mott insulators with two- dimensional spin-orbit couplings in cold atomic optical lattices. We show that the many-body Chern and spin-Chern number can be expressed…

Berry connection is conventionally defined as a static gauge field in the Brillouin zone. Here we show that for three-dimensional (3d) time-reversal invariant superconductors, a generalized Berry gauge field behaves as a fluctuating field…

We present a quantized non-Abelian Berry phase for time reversal invariant systems such as quantum spin Hall effect. Ordinary Berry phase is defined by an integral of Berry's gauge potential along a loop (an integral of the Chern-Simons…

Berry curvature is a fundamental element to characterize topological quantum physics, while a full measurement of Berry curvature in momentum space was not reported for topological states. Here we achieve two-dimensional Berry curvature…

We generalize the concept of topological invariants for mixed states based on the ensemble geometric phase (EGP) introduced for one-dimensional lattice models to two dimensions. In contrast to the geometric phase for density matrices…

While the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity is normally written in terms of an integral of the electronic Berry curvature over the occupied portions of the Brillouin zone, Haldane has recently pointed out that this quantity (or more…

The Berry connection encodes the momentum-space geometry of occupied Bloch states in gapped insulators and plays a central role in topological materials. While gauge-invariant quantities can be evaluated from overlap matrices between…

We analyze a measurement scheme that allows determination of the Berry curvature and the topological Chern number of a Hamiltonian with parameters exploring a two-dimensional closed manifold. Our method uses continuous monitoring of the…

In the reference Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 233801 (2024), the authors claim to have introduced a ''real-space spin Chern number'' as well as a ''Spin Berry connection'' and a ''Spin Berry curvature''. The main finding of their letter is the…

Topology plays a crucial role in many physical systems, leading to interesting states at the surface. The paradigmatic example is the Chern number defined in the Brillouin zone that leads to the robust gapless edge states. Here we introduce…

The topology of electronic states in band insulators with mirror symmetry can be classified in two different ways. One is in terms of the mirror Chern number, an integer that counts the number of protected Dirac cones in the Brillouin zone…
