Explicit Gauge Fixing for Degenerate Multiplets: A Generic Setup for Topological Orders

Abstract

We supply basic tools for the study of the topological order of a multiplet which is an eigenspace of a finite-dimensional normal operator with continuous parameters. We allow intrinsic degeneracies within the multiplet where a well-known standard procedure does not work. As an important example, we give novel expressions for a spin Hall conductance for unitary superconductors with equal spin pairing. Generic topological orders will be treated in this unified manner particularly with nontrivial topological degeneracies.

arXiv commentAlmost final version. (Topological) Degeneracy is stressed
