On critical properties of Berry curvature in Kitaev honeycomb model
arXiv:1905.04118 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/ab35e9
Abstract
We analyse the Kitaev honeycomb model, by means of the Berry curvature with respect to Hamiltonian parameters. We concentrate on the ground-state vortex-free sector, which allows us to exploit an appropriate Fermionisation technique. The parameter space includes a time-reversal breaking term which provides an analytical headway to study the curvature in phases in which it would otherwise vanish. The curvature is then analysed in the limit in which the time-reversal-symmetry-breaking perturbation vanishes. This provides remarkable information about the topological phase transitions of the model. A non-critical behaviour is found in the Berry curvature itself, which shows a distinctive behaviour in the different phases. The analysis of the first derivative shows a critical behaviour around the transition point.
