Nondissipative Drag Conductance as a Topological Quantum Number

Published 1999-04-05, updated 2001-01-24Version 2

We show in this paper that the boundary condition averaged nondissipative drag conductance of two coupled mesoscopic rings with no tunneling, evaluated in a particular many-particle eigenstate, is a topological invariant characterized by a Chern integer. Physical implications of this observation are discussed.
