Renormalization group study of interaction-driven quantum anomalous Hall and quantum spin Hall phases in quadratic band crossing systems

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

It is shown that topological insulating phases driven by interactions can be realized without the need for spin-orbit coupling or large intersite interaction in a two-dimensional system of spin-1/2 fermions with a single pair of parabolically touching bands. Using a weak-coupling, Wilsonian renormalization group procedure, we show that a quantum anomalous Hall phase is realized for Hubbard interaction, while a quantum spin Hall phase is favored for longer-ranged interactions.
