Fundamental Bound on Topological Gap

We provide a universal tight bound on the energy gap of topological insulators by exploring relationships between topology, quantum geometry, and optical absorption. Applications of our theory to infrared absorption near topological band inversion, magnetic circular dichroism in Chern insulators, an...

description We provide a universal tight bound on the energy gap of topological insulators by exploring relationships between topology, quantum geometry, and optical absorption. Applications of our theory to infrared absorption near topological band inversion, magnetic circular dichroism in Chern insulators, and topological gap in moiré materials are demonstrated.
