Fundamentals of crystalline Hopf insulators (2301.08244v1)

Abstract: Three-dimensional, crystalline Hopf insulators are generic members of unitary Wigner-Dyson class, which can break all global discrete symmetries and point group symmetries. In the absence of first Chern number for any two-dimensional plane of Brillouin zone, the Hopf invariant $N_H \in \mathbb{Z}$. But in the presence of Chern number $N_H \in \mathbb{Z}_{2q}$, where $q$ is the greatest common divisor of Chern numbers for $xy$, $yz$, and $xz$ planes of Brillouin zone. How does $N_H$ affect topological quantization of isotropic, magneto-electric coefficient? We answer this question with calculations of Witten effect for a test, magnetic monopole. Furthermore, we construct $N$-band tight-binding models of Hopf insulators and demonstrate their topological stability against spectral flattening.
