Topological insulators and geometry of vector bundles

A. S. Sergeev

AI总结:

本文从向量丛的几何与拓扑视角,探讨了特征向量集合的局部几何与全局扭曲如何决定电极化及拓扑绝缘体的金属表面态,并介绍了相关的物理类比与模型。

摘要:

长期以来,固体的能带理论一直关注能谱,即哈密顿量特征值。最近人们认识到,特征向量的集合也包含重要的物理信息。特征空间的局部几何决定了电极化,而它们的全局扭曲导致了拓扑绝缘体中的金属表面态。这些现象是本笔记的核心主题。特征空间的形状也引发了许多有趣的物理类比,其根源在于向量丛理论。我们对向量丛的几何与拓扑进行了非正式介绍,并从这一数学视角描述了各种物理模型。

英文摘要:

For a long time, band theory of solids has focused on the energy spectrum, or Hamiltonian eigenvalues. Recently, it was realized that the collection of eigenvectors also contains important physical information. The local geometry of eigenspaces determines the electric polarization, while their global twisting gives rise to the metallic surface states in topological insulators. These phenomena are central topics of the present notes. The shape of eigenspaces is also responsible for many intriguing physical analogies, which have their roots in the theory of vector bundles. We give an informal introduction to the geometry and topology of vector bundles and describe various physical models from this mathematical perspective.
