Ω is the BERRY CURVATURE. It comes from an (unremovable)k-dependence of some internal degree of freedom of the w.p.
Ω ≠ 0 requires broken time reversal symmetry (anomalous Halleffect) or broken inversion symmetry (harder to see)

Background II (some things we already know)
Anomalous transverse transport appears in nonequilibrium states with asymmetric valley population

Background III (what we’d like to do)
Population → Coherent Optical Control
• break symmetries via optical fields
• engineer Bloch k-space connections
• anomalous topological responses “on demand”
Comments:• low-ω responses by downconverting optical fields
• frequency, phase and polarization
• intrinsically nonlinear (estimates of intensities at end)

H is real : two independent control parameters

Intersection of lz ≠ 0 and lz = 0 bands are the line nodes
protected by z-mirror symmetry.
Other nodes (twofold band degeneracies in lz ≠ 0 sector)
occur only at exceptional points

Precedents and Observables
Gapping out the point nodes liberates the Berry curvature
But, on the honeycomb lattice (and its heteropolar variants) this can be
accessed in transport only for valley antisymmetric mass terms (which
eat the minus sign: FDMH-Chern insulator, K-M QSH-state)
or… possibly by forcing a valley asymmetric nonequilibrium state
Instead this physics is directly accessed using
valley symmetric (e.g. local and spatially uniform) fields.

Examples
• Break T: couple to T-odd pseudovector:
gaps WP’s, LN protected by z-mirror
(magnetism, CPL at normal incidence)
• Break z-mirror (I): couple to a T-even tensor
partially gaps LN → Weyl Pair
(buckling, strain)
• Break z-mirror (II): couple to T-odd tensor
fully gap LN
(axial state, noncollinear magnetism)

Closing Comments and Open Items
• More material realizations (Cu2Si is not optimal,
but the model is generic1)
• Spin (magnetism, spin orbit, etc)
• Quenched orbital angular momentum at
boundaries (anomalous transport
without edge states)
