摘要
We prove the existence of low-energy excitations in insulating systems at general filling factor under certain conditions, and discuss in which cases these may be identified as topological excitations. In the specific case of half-filling this proof provides a significantly shortened proof of the recent higher-dimensional Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem.
