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-...

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{...
