TOPOLOGICAL EFFECTIVE FIELD THEORIES FOR DIRAC FERMIONS FROM INDEX THEOREM

TOPOLOGICAL EFFECTIVE FIELD THEORIES FOR DIRAC FERMIONS FROM INDEX THEOREM

Dirac fermions have a central role in high energy physics but it is well known that they emerge also as quasiparticles in several condensed matter systems supporting topological order. We present a general method for deriving the topological effective actions of (3+1) massless Dirac fermions living on general backgrounds and …
