Long Range Topological Order, the Chiral Condensate, and the Berry Connection in QCD
H. B. Thacker
Topological insulators are substances which are bulk insulators but which carry current via special "topologically protected" edge states. The understanding of long range topologic…

Bosonization and the Berry connection in two-dimensional QED
H. B. Thacker, Gabriel Wong
The dynamical effects of topological charge in two-dimensional QED can be expressed in terms of a topological order parameter via a Berry phase construction. The Berry phase descri…

Topological insulators and the QCD vacuum: the theta parameter as a Berry phase
H. B. Thacker
There is considerable evidence, based on large chiral dynamics, holographic QCD, and Monte Carlo studies, that the QCD vacuum is permeated by discrete quasivacua separated by…
