The European Physical Society (EPS) is a not for profit association whose members include 41 National Physical Societies in Europe, individuals from all fields of physics, and European research institutions.

As a learned society, the EPS engages in activities that strengthen ties among the physicists in Europe. As a federation of National Physical Societies, the EPS studies issues of concern to all European countries relating to physics research, science policy and education.

The Institute of Physics (IOP) is a leading scientific society promoting physics and bringing physicists together for the benefit of all. It has a worldwide membership of around 50 000 comprising physicists from all sectors, as well as those with an interest in physics. It works to advance physics research, application and education; and engages with policy makers and the public to develop awareness and understanding of physics. Its publishing company, IOP Publishing, is a world leader in professional scientific communications.

Abstract

Adiabatic ZQ invariants by quantized Berry phases are defined for gapped electronic systems in d-dimensions (Q=d+1). This series includes Polyacetylene, Kagome and Pyrochlore lattice, respectively for d=1, 2 and 3. The invariants are quantum Q-multimer order parameters to characterize the topological phase transitions by the multimerization. This fractional quantization is protected by the global ZQ equivalence even with particle-particle interaction. As for the chiral symmetric case, a topological form of the Z2 invariant is explicitly given as well.
