Correlated topological insulators and the fractional magnetoelectric effect
Topological insulators are characterized by the presence of gapless surface modes protected by time-reversal symmetry. In three space dimensions the magnetoelectric response is described in terms of a bulk θ [theta] term for the electromagnetic field. Here we construct theoretical examples of such p...
