Interacting Surface States of Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators

Interacting Surface States of Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators

We numerically investigate the surface states of a strong topological insulator in the presence of strong electron-electron interactions. We choose a spherical topological insulator geometry to make the surface amenable to a finite size analysis. The single-particle problem maps to that of Landau orbitals on the sphere with a magnetic …
