Gravitational anomalies and thermal Hall effect in topological insulators
Gravitational anomalies and thermal Hall effect in topological insulators
It has been suggested that after being gapped by a small symmetry-breaking field, the Majorana quasiparticles localized on the surface of a class DIII topological insulator will exhibit a thermal Hall effect that arises from a gravitational Chern-Simons term. We critically examine this idea, and argue that the thermogravitational Hall …
