How can i calculate the Berry Curvature for the Dirac points in Haldane graphene?

I want to calculate the berry curvature at the Dirac points in graphene with complex next nearest hopping (haldane model) in order to show that it is non-zero at the dirac points and use it to compute ...

What is natural about the Berry connection?

So I asked a similar question here and even though I still believe it's a valid question, the formulation may have been a bit too complicated to pique people's interest, so let me try to break it up ...

Concise formulation of Berry phase as holonomy of "natural" connection

I've been trying to understand the Berry phase (abelian/non-abelian) as the holonomy of some "natural connection". I almost have all the pieces together, but there are a few parts that are a ...

How does the fiber bundle perspective on geometric phase lead to a certain connection one-form?

I'm trying to understand why the relevant connection one-form when calculating geometric phase in quantum systems is $$\mathcal{A}_\psi(X):=i \text{Im}\langle \psi | X\rangle.$$ Set-up: I'll set the ...

Why gauge-invariant Berry curvature commutator looks like torsion?

The Berry Curvature is defined as (for invariant gauge transformations) $$F_{ij} = [\partial_i, A_j] - [\partial_j,A_i] + [A_i,A_j]$$ The gauge covariance satisfies the transformation $$A_i \...

Berry curvature vanishes in TRS system

In spin 1/2 system with TR symmetry , the Berry curvature must vanish. Because Berry curvature is odd. How to prove it? \begin{equation} \langle\partial_{-k_x}u^{I}(-k)|\partial_{-k_y}u^{I}(-k)\rangle-...
