Generalized Streda formula in the adiabatic heuristic principle

ORAL

Abstract

The adiabatic heuristic principle for the quantum Hall (QH) states are numerically demonstrated under the algebraic constraints of the Braid group on a torus. The many-body gap is smooth and finite when the Hamiltonian is adiabatically deformed by the flux attachement from the fractional QH state to the integer one. The many-body Chern number of the ground state multiplet works well as an adiabatic invariant for the gap while their topological degeneracy changes wildly. Assuming the invariance of the many-body Chern number, we have analytically proved a generalized Streda formula, which explains the wild behavior of the topological degeneracy in terms of the Chern number.
