The response of solids to temperature gradients is often described in terms of a gravitational analogue: the effect of a space-dependent temperature is modeled using a space dependent metric. We investigate the validity of this approach in describing the bulk response of quantum Hall states and other gapped chiral topological states. To this end, we consider the prototypical Haldane model in two different cases of (i) a space-dependent electrostatic potential and gravitational potential and (ii) a space-dependent temperature and chemical potential imprinted by a weak coupling to non-interacting electron baths. We find that the thermal analogue is textit{invalid}; while a space dependent gravitational potential induces transverse energy currents proportional to the third derivative of the gravitational potential, the response to an analogous temperature profile vanishes in limit of weak coupling to the thermal bath. Similarly, the Einstein relation, the analogy between the electrostatic potential and the internal chemical potential, is not valid in such a setup.
It is commonly believed that the current response of an electron fluid to a mechanical force (such as an electric field) or to a ``statistical force (e.g., a gradient of chemical potential) are governed by a single linear transport coefficient - the
We predict an anomalous thermal Hall effect (ATHE) mediated by photons in networks of Weyl semi-metals. Contrary to the photon thermal Hall effect in magneto-optical systems which requires the application of an external magnetic field the ATHE in a W
The quest for non-Abelian quasiparticles has inspired decades of experimental and theoretical efforts, where the scarcity of direct probes poses a key challenge. Among their clearest signatures is a thermal Hall conductance with quantized half-intege
Using a two-dimensional square lattice Heisenberg model with a Rashba-type Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, we demonstrate that chiral spin fluctuations can give rise to a thermal Hall effect in the absence of any static spin texture or momentum sp
Supersymmetry (SUSY) relating bosons and fermions plays an important role in unifying different fundamental interactions in particle physics. Since no superpartners of elementary particles have been observed, SUSY, if present, must be broken at low-e
