We obtain an explicit expression for the longitudinal conductivity, completely determined by the number of conical intersections and by the shape of the cones. In particular, the formula reproduces the known quantized values found for graphene and for the critical Haldane model. Furthermore, we discuss the validity of Kubo formula in presence of conical intersections in the spectrum, starting from the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. For electric fields which are weak and slowly varying in space and in time, we prove the validity of linear response from quantum dynamics.\u0000\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":685,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Mathematical Physics","volume":"116 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148465878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
