We study the bulk and boundary properties of fragile topological insulators (TIs) protected by inversion symmetry, mostly focusing on the class A of the Altland-Zirnbauer classification …
The traditional theory of magnetic moments for chiral phonons is based on the picture of the circular motion of the Born effective charge, typically yielding a small fractional value of the …

A semiclassical theory for the orbital magnetization due to adiabatic evolutions of Bloch electronic states is proposed. It renders a unified theory for the periodic-evolution pumped …
In this paper, we derive symmetry indicator formulas for the filling anomaly on two- dimensional (2D) C 4 symmetric square lattices with and without time reversal, inversion …
Electric multipole moments are the most fundamental properties of insulating materials. However, the general formulation of bulk multipoles has been a long-standing problem. The …
A formula for the corner charge in terms of the bulk quadrupole moment is derived for two- dimensional periodic systems. This is an analog of the formula for the surface charge density …

Under the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the electronic ground state evolves adiabatically and can accumulate geometrical phases characterized by the molecular Berry …
We study the generalization of the three-dimensional two-band Hopf insulator to the case of many bands, where all the bands are separated from each other by band gaps. The …
In systems with time-reversal symmetry, the orbital magnetization is zero in equilibrium. Recently, it has been proposed that the orbital magnetization can be induced by an electric …
