Topological insulator and the theta vacuum in a system without boundaries
In this paper we address two questions concerning the effective action of a topological insulator in one- and three-dimensional space without boundaries, such as a torus. The first is whether a uniform theta term with theta=pi is generated for a strong topological insulator. The second is whether su...
