Can I ask two questions about the Berry curvature? The formula for the berry curvature is written below. $$\Omega_n (k) = -Im \langle \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} | \times | \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} \rangle$$ where, $|u_{nk}\rangle$ is the cell-periodic bloch state.
I suppose $|u_{nk}\rangle$ is a matrix; then, $| \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} \rangle$ is vector with non-zero component along three axes and each component is a matrix. Finally, $\langle \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} | \times | \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} \rangle$ is also a vector with non-zero component along three axes and each component is a matrix. In othe words, $\Omega_n (k)$ is a vector with non-zero component along three axes and each component is a matrix. Is my understanding correct or not?
Is possible to convert this formula into the format of Green function? I mean if it is possible to calculate the berry curvature with green function?
