Spectral functions of the correlated topological insulator — •Damian Zdulski and Krzysztof Byczuk — Faculty of Physics, Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Warsaw, ul.Pasteura 5, PL-02-093 Warsaw, Poland

In our recent paper [1], we have studied the influence of electron correlations on topological insulators (TIs) at finite temperatures. The correlated TI was represented by the Kane-Mele model with the interaction term as in the Falicov-Kimball model and it was examined within the Hartree and the Hubbard I approximations. In this talk, we will present extension of that analysis by investigating properties of the system within the dynamical mean field approximation. Our findings show that dynamical correlations yield totally new structures, which are seen in the the momentum dependent spectral functions. Namely, we see: 1) widening of Dirac nodes over finite range of k points in the Brillouin zone (BZ), 2) creation of almost flat subbands in a finite range of the BZ, 3) appearance of kinks, and 4) splitting of kinks with formation of overlapping bands.
