8
Gauge Field of Bloch Electrons in dual space First considered in context of QHE Kohmoto 1985 Principle of Quantum Mechanics Eigenstate does not depend on overall phase factor Gauge invariant magnetic field in dual space
9
Superconductivity and Quantized Flux ratio of wave functions on sublattice A and B write U(1) field
10
Meissner effect Hall conductance Kohmoto 1985 but if C contain Dirac point no magnetic field time reversal symmetry is not broken Hall conductance has to be zero sum of fluxes is zero monopole-antimonopole confinement
11
Dual Space of Honeycomb lattice
13
Hofstadter Butterfly nonzero TKNN Hall conductance
19
Jahn-Teller Theorem Localized Object(molecule, impurity) If a molecule has degeneracy in electronic energy, there is at least one instability mode of symmetry breaking Crystal Band Jahn-Teller effect Peirerls instability of one-dimensional half-filled band(dimerization) Dirac Mode massivemassless doubly degenerate Non degenerate
20
Jahn-Teller instability mode K-K’ period 3 direction
21
t A t B 5% Period 2 modulation Period 3 modulation
22
Summary Honeycomb Lattice: sublattice A and B, non-Bravais lattice topological dual space: Dirac zero mode: break down of Bloch’s theorem ground state degeneracy-> Jahn-Teller period 3 lattice modulation in U(1) gauge field of Bloch electrons in dual space Type II superconductor, Abrikosov quantized vortex, +1, - 1 Magnetic monopole: non-Abelian gauge theory broken to U(1), cf ‘t Hooft
23
No magnetic field Time reversal symmetry -> zero Hall conductance -> monopole confinement With a magnetic field Hofstadter mechanism, 2q dual subspaces, nonzero TKNN Hall conductance monopole deconfinement
