Correlation effects in two-dimensional topological insulators (Part 1)
This paper extends the analysis of the Quantum Spin Hall Effect (QSHE) by introducing interactions. It introduces the so-called Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang-Hubbard (BHZH) and Kane-Mele-Hubbard (KMH) models to study the resulting phase diagram. This part of the paper specifically studies the effect of correlations in the bulk. The effect of correlations at the edges as well as the definition and efficient computation of topological invariants in interacting systems is discussed in the next part.
