Abstract
In this paper a gauge theory is proposed for the two-band model of Chern insulators. Based on the so-called ’t Hooft monopole model, a U (1) Maxwell electromagnetic sub-field is constructed from an SU (2) gauge field, from which arise two types of topological defects, monopoles and merons. We focus on the topological number in the Hall conductance
