abstract

We define the absolute Wilson loop winding and prove that it bounds the (integrated) quantum metric from below. This Wilson loop lower bound naturally reproduces the known Chern and Euler bounds of the integrated quantum metric and provides an explicit lower bound of the integrated quantum metric due to the time-reversal protected $Z_2$ index, answering a hitherto open question. In general, the Wilson loop lower bound can be applied to any other topological invariants characterized by Wilson loop winding, such as the particle-hole $Z_2$ index. As physical consequences of the $Z_2$ bound, we show that the time-reversal $Z_2$ index bounds superfluid weight and optical conductivity from below and bounds the direct gap of a band insulator from above.

  1. Exact models of chiral flat-band superconductors

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For a single-flavor flat band with inversion symmetry, a local attraction between opposite-parity orbitals yields exact superconducting ground states, including topological pairing.

  2. Geometric bound on structure factor

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The fourth-order term of the static structure factor of band insulators obeys a geometric lower bound, saturated by 'harmonic bands' such as Landau levels.

  3. Superfluid Weight of Strongly Inhomogeneous Superconductors

    cond-mat.supr-con 2025-04 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    An inhomogeneous superconductor's superfluid weight must include the response of the pairing potential to the vector potential; for unpinned vortex lattices this correction cancels the naive value completely.
