Berry Curvature and Curvature Tensor

When the curvature tensor (from Einstein's theory) has a non-zero torsion, it is said to be an antisymmetric tensor in the last two indices composed of the connections of the field. Alternatively, the ...

Derivation of expression for Berry curvature

Many texts quote the expression for the Berry curvature for a two-level system, with Hamiltonian $\mathbf{h}(\mathbf{k})=(h_x,h_y,h_z)$ in terms of $\mathbf{k}=(k_x,k_y)$, as something like \begin{...

Detail of deriving Berry Curvature From Berry Connection

The Berry curvature of the $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ eigenstate of Hamiltonian $H$ for the vector of external parameters $\vec{R}$ can be derived in part by writing the following two lines: $$ B^n(\vec{R}) \...
