| Event Location: BRIM 311 | Speaker: Joseph Maciejko, University of Alberta
I will discuss a notion of topology “hidden” in Landau’s theory of phase transitions. When the order parameter comprises several components in the same irreducible representation of symmetry, it can possess a nontrivial topology and acquire a Berry phase under the variation of thermodynamic parameters. To illustrate this idea, I will focus on the superconducting phase transition of an electronic system with tetragonal symmetry and a two-component order parameter.
