Momentum-dependent mass and AC Hall conductivity of quantum anomalous Hall insulators and their relation to the parity anomaly

The Dirac mass of a two-dimensional QAH insulator is directly related to the parity anomaly of planar quantum electrodynamics, as shown initially by Niemi and Semenoff [Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 2077 (1983)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.51.2077]. In this work, we connect the additional momentum-depen...
