ChernNumber

formal source

  32/-- A Chern number is an integer-valued topological invariant.
  33    In the QHE, it equals the number of filled Landau levels (IQHE)
  34    or the composite fermion Landau level structure (FQHE). -/

  44/-- **CHERN NUMBER FROM 8-TICK STRUCTURE**:
  45    The RS ledger phase ω = e^{2πi/8} has integer Chern number winding
  46    around the Brillouin zone because ω^8 = 1 (exact periodicity).
  47
  48    The Chern number C_n = (1/2π) ∮ F_n dk² is integer because
  49    the Berry phase integrand (F_n = ∂A_y/∂k_x - ∂A_x/∂k_y) integrates
  50    to a multiple of 2π over the compact Brillouin zone. -/
