Topological quantum numbers in the Hall effect

J. E. Avron, D. Osadchy, R. Seiler

Topological quantum numbers account for the precise quantization that occurs in the integer Hall effect. In this theory, Kubo's formula for the conductance acquires a topological i…

Magnetic Fingerprints of Fractal Spectra and Duality of Hofstadter Models

O. Gat, J. E. Avron

We study the de-Haas van Alphen oscillations in the magnetization of the Hofstadter model. Near a split band the magnetization is a rapidly oscillating function of the Fermi energy…

Adiabatic charge pumping in open quantum systems

J. E. Avron, A. Elgart, G. M. Graf +2

We introduce a mathematical setup for charge transport in quantum pump connected to a number of external leads. It is proved that under rather general assumption on the Hamiltonian…

Butterflies and topological quantum numbers

J. E. Avron, D. Osadchy

The Hofstadter model illustrates the notion of topological quantum numbers and how they account for the quantization of the Hall conductance. It gives rise to colorful fractal diag…

Generic Jumps of Fredholm Indices and the Quantum Hall Effect

Joseph E. Avron, Lorenzo Sadun

We describe the generic behavior of Fredholm indices in the space of Toeplitz operators. We relate this behavior to certain conjectures and open problems that arise in the context…
