1 1 Single particle Green s functions and interacting topological insulators Victor Gurarie Nordita, Jan 2011
2 Topological insulators are free fermion systems characterized by topological invariants. 2 In this talk 1. All the invariants can be constructed out of single particle Green s functions of these insulators 2. It is generally believed that at the boundaries of topological insulators there must be zero energy edge states. The Green s functions provide a very simple proof of this statement. 3. In the presence of interactions, edge states can disappear and get replaced by the zeroes of the Green s functions. VG, arxiv: A. Essin, VG, work in progress Discussions with A.W.W. Ludwig
3 3 Noninteracting topological insulators
4 Topological insulators 4 Topological insulators are free fermion systems fermionic creation and annihilation operators which happen to be band insulators of a special type
5 Band insulators 5 Spectrum is essentially the same regardless of whether the boundary conditions in the y-direction periodic or hard wall.
6 Integer quantum Hall effect as a topogical insulator 6 Periodic boundary conditions in the y-direction Same tight binding model but with 2π/3 magnetic flux through each plaquette
7 Integer quantum Hall effect as a topogical insulator 6 Hard wall boundary conditions in the y-direction Same tight binding model but with 2π/3 magnetic flux through each plaquette
8 Integer quantum Hall effect as a topogical insulator 6 Hard wall boundary conditions in the y-direction Same tight binding model but with 2π/3 magnetic flux through each plaquette Edge states
9 Laughlin s argument 7 increasing flux though a point outward current Outward current deposits charge somewhere. There must be zero energy edge states to absorb the charge
