P25 — Topological Insulators (2D and 3D)

Field: Condensed Matter Physics Verdict: ✅ Success (6/6)

Problem

Generalize the Chern number of P18 to real lattices: Haldane model, Kane–Mele Z₂ invariant, and 3D strong index — using only the Berry connection method (P18), with zero adjusted parameters.

Models

  1. Haldane (2D, broken TR): d_z(k) = M − 2t₂ sin φ Σᵢ sin(k·bᵢ). At valleys: d_z(K) = M + 3√3 t₂ sin φ, d_z(K') = M − 3√3 t₂ sin φ.
  2. Kane–Mele (2D, TR conserved): two copies of Haldane (φ, −φ) for the two spins.
  3. Wilson–Dirac (3D): H(k) = Σᵢ sin kᵢ Γᵢ + (m + Σᵢ cos kᵢ) Γ₀.

Results

Internal correction

First pass: Berry connection method produced stable but wrong integers (C = 12!) due to a ULP difference at the Brillouin zone seam — corrected by modular indices. QWZ control (|C| = 1 for 0 < |m| < 2) recovered exactly.

Verdict
