拓扑、通过平均对称的离域化和辛Anderson变换

Topology, Delocalization via Average Symmetry and the Symplectic Anderson Transition

Liang Fu, C. L. Kane

摘要:

发展了具有自旋-轨道相互作用和时间反演对称性的二维无序系统中Anderson跃迁的场论,其中涡旋状拓扑缺陷的扩散是局域化的关键.涡旋逸度的符号决定了局域相的$Z_2$拓扑类。在金属相和两个绝缘相之间存在两个不同但等效的转变。这些过渡的临界电导率和相关长度指数的计算在一个$N=1-ε$扩展的副本的数量,其中对于小$ε$的临界点微扰连接到Kosterlitz无源临界点。出现在弱拓扑绝缘体和拓扑晶体绝缘体表面的离域态,是因为由于存在被无序破坏的对称性而禁止涡旋扩散,但通过无序平均化恢复。

英文摘要:

A field theory of the Anderson transition in two dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry is developed, in which the proliferation of vortex-like topological defects is essential for localization. The sign of vortex fugacity determines the $Z_2$ topological class of the localized phase. There are two distinct, but equivalent transitions between the metallic phase and the two insulating phases. The critical conductivity and correlation length exponent of these transitions are computed in a $N=1-ε$ expansion in the number of replicas, where for small $ε$ the critical points are perturbatively connected to the Kosterlitz Thouless critical point. Delocalized states, which arise at the surface of weak topological insulators and topological crystalline insulators, occur because vortex proliferation is forbidden due to the presence of symmetries that are violated by disorder, but are restored by disorder averaging.
