abstract

We define and study analogs of the Thouless charge pump for many-body gapped systems in dimension $D$. We show how to attach a topological invariant to a $D$-dimensional family of such systems, provided all of them have an on-site $U(1)$ symmetry. For a large class of families we argue that this topological invariant is an integer. In the case of gapped systems of free fermions in two dimensions, the invariant can be expressed in terms of the curvature of the Bloch-Berry connection. We also obtain a new formula for the Thouless charge pump in 1d which involves only static linear response and is analogous to the Streda formula for Hall conductivity.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form higher Berry connection on boundary conformal manifolds is defined from boundary-condition-changing operator OPE phases; it reproduces the B-field and WZ term in string theory examples.

    In a Dirac fermion BCFT with SU(2) conformal boundary conditions parametrized by a three-sphere, the filled Fermi sea carries a higher Berry curvature whose integral is quantized, realizing Berry curvature flow and Ch...
