9 An answer
10 Tight binding models H = iα jβ c iα h(r i R j ) αβ c jβ R i = a i a e a, α, β = 1,..., N B Fourier transform, Reciprocal lattice basis k a c iα = k e i k R i c kα G a e b = δ ab k a Ga, k Ri = a i a k a Hence k a k a + 2π, the Brillouin zone is always a topologically a torus.
11 Momentum space wave functions H = k c α(k) h(k) αβ c β (k) αβ The single particle hamiltonian is an N B N B matrix at every k. h(k) αβ uβ n (k) = ɛ n(k)uα(k) n ɛ n (k), n = 1,..., N B form the energy bands. N B c n (k) (u n (k)) αc α (k) GS = α=1 ɛ n(k)<ɛ F c n(k) 0
12 The phase that launched a thousand scripts The wave functions, u n (k) and e iωn (k) u n (k) represent the same physical state. The phase picked up by the wave-function when the state is Adiabatically transported defines a "Pancharathnam-Berry" connection: u n (k 1 ) e i k 2 k A n 1 i (k)dk i u n (k 2 ) A n i (k) = 1 ( ) (u n (k)) i u n (k) h.c 2i F n ij (k) = ia n j (k) ja n i (k) The Pancharathnam-Berry curvature field, Fij n (k) is independent of the phase convention used to define the eigenstates.
13 The Chern invariant For 2-d systems, the integral of F over the Brillouin zone is an integer invariant, the Chern number. ν n = 1 d 2 k ɛ ij Fij n 8π (k) e2 h Chern Number=Quantized Hall Conductance Thouless, Kohmoto, Nightingale and den Nijs, (1982) Chern Number=Number of chiral edge channels Hatsugai, (1993)
14 The Chern number as a winding number At every k we have a N B level system. eg. N B = 2 we have a 2 level system. h(k) = ɛ(k) + 1 ɛ(k)ˆn(k) τ 2 The physical states at every k form a CP NB 1 manifold. eg at N B = 2, we have the Bloch sphere (CP 1 = S 2 ). ( ) cos θ(k) u(k) = 2 sin θ(k) 2 eiφ(k) The wavefunctions for every band define a map from the Brillouin zone to the space of physical states, CP NB 1.
15 The Chern number as a winding number When d = 2, we have maps from T 2 CP NB 1. These are topologically equivalent to maps from S 2 CP NB 1 since all loops in CP NB 1 can be shrunk to points. The winding number of the map is exactly the Chern number. ν ± = ± 1 d 2 k ˆn 1ˆn 2ˆn 4π = ± 1 d 2 k F 12 (k) 4π
16 Physical Effects: Anomalous velocity Semiclassical equations of motion for wave packets: ẋ i = k i ɛ(k) + F ij (k) k j k i = e x i V (x) + eb ij (x)ẋ j Ganesh Sundaram and Qian Niu, Phys. Rev. B23, (1999); F. D. M. Haldane, PRL 93, (2004) Leads to anomalous hall conductivity: σ H = ɛ(k)<ɛf e 2 2h ɛ ijf ij (k) If the Fermi level is in a gap and all the bands are either filled or empty, then the hall conductivity is quantised.
17 Explicit models on the honeycomb lattice
18 Graphene h(k) = α x p x (k) + α y p y (k) + βm ( ) M p = x ip y p x + ip y M p x (k) = t(1 + cos k 1 + cos k 2 ) p y (k) = t(sin k 1 sin k 2 )
19 Graphene k = K 1 + q, k = K 2 + q, h(k) = t 3 2 (α xq x + α y q y ) + βm F ij (k) = 1 M 4π (q 2 + M 2 ) 3/2 h(k) = t 3 2 (α xq x α y q y ) + βm F ij (k) = 1 4π M (q 2 + M 2 ) 3/2
20 The Haldane model h(k) = α x p x (k) + α y p y (k) + βm(k) p x (k) = t(1 + cos k 1 + cos k 2 ) p y (k) = t(sin k 1 sin k 2 ) M(k) = M + (sin k 1 + sin k 2 + sin( k 1 k 2 )) M >>, ν = 0, M <<, ν = ±1. Topological transition from ν = 0 to ν = ±1 phase at M = Magnetic field not necessary for non-zero Chern number. Other time reversal symmetry breaking terms can also induce it. Bands can exchange units of Pancharathnam-Berry flux when they touch at Dirac points.

25 Time reversal in Quantum mechanics ψ 2 = e ih(t 2 t 1 ) ψ 1 If there is an operator T such that, T ψ 1 = e ih(t 2 t 1 ) T ψ 2 Then the system is time reversal invariant. Time reversal for Bloch hamiltonians, T u(k) α = (σ y u (k)) α if σ y h (k)σ y = h( k) Then system is time reversal invariant
26 Band Pairs T u n (k) = u n ( k) T u n (k) = u n ( k) ɛ n (k) = ɛ n ( k) Fij n (k) = n Fij
27 The 2-d Z 2 invariant Consider a system with 2 occupied time reversed bands: The total Berry flux carried by them will always be zero. If the hamiltonian is smoothly perturbed, maintaining time reversal invariance, and they touch (h(k) becomes degenerate), it will always happen at pairs of points (k, k). Time reversal invariance ensures that the flux exchanged by bands at these two points is always equal. The change of flux in each band is always even and hence the Chern index of each band modulo 2 is invariant under smooth time reversal symmetric perturbations. in general, is invariant. δ = 1 N B ν n modulo 2 2 n=1
28 The 2-d Z 2 invariant
29 Consequences at the edge Even number of edge pairs (per edge) for δ = 0 Odd number of edge pairs (per edge) for δ = 1 No backscattering for a single pair due to time reversal symmetry.
30 The 3-d Z 2 invariants Parameterise the 3-d torus by π k i π, i = x, y, z. There are many time reversal invariant planes. eg k i = 0, π. The 2-d Z 2 invariants of these planes are all topological invariants. Of these, there are 4 independent invariants which can be chosen to be, δ x δ kx =π, δ y δ ky =π, δ z δ kz=π δ 0 δ kz=0δ kz=π If δ 0 = 1, then the system is called a Strong topological insulator".

32 (δ 0, δ x, δ y, δ z )
33 Consequences at the surface Even number of surface Dirac cones for δ = 0 Odd number of surface Dirac cones for δ = 1 Gaplessness for odd number of Dirac points protected by time reversal symmetry.

57 Chiral edge states
58 U > 0: Variational Cluster Perturbation Theory Choose a cluster hamiltonian H with variational parameters approximating the effect of the environment. (We choose a 6 site cluster and the hopping parameters as the variational parameters). Solve the cluster hamiltonian exactly and the compute the self energy functional, Ω t [G]. Find the saddle point of Ω t to determine G.
59 The Greens Function
60 The Greens Function
61 Conclusions The model proposed by Duan, Demler and Lukin to realise the Kitaev hamiltonian in cold atom systems has time reversal non-invariant spin-orbit couplings except at t = 0 (graphene) and t = 0 For certain parameter regimes, this model has four non-overlapping bands that carry non-zero Chern numbers. This implies a non-zero angular momentum of the ground state at quarter filling. Thus we will have a rotating condensate in a static optical lattice. The gap at quarter filling presists in a region in the U t space. There seem to be two phases, A quantum Hall state and a Chiral Metal. At t = 0, half filling we have a topological insulator. FQHE states at large U, partially filled bands?? (Next problem)
