Abstract Chern number is usually characterized by Berry curvature. Here, by investigating the Dirac model of even-dimensional Chern insulator, we give the general relation between Berry curvature and quantum metric, which indicates that the Chern number can be encoded in quantum metric as well as the surface area of the Brillouin zone on the hypersphere embedded in Euclidean parameter space. We find that there is a corresponding relationship between the quantum metric and the metric on such a hypersphere. We give the geometrical property of quantum metric. Besides, we give a protocol to measure the quantum metric in the degenerate system.

[28] In the hyperspherical coordinates $\hat{d}_1=\cos \theta_1$, $\hat{d}_2=\sin\theta_1\cos \theta_2$, $\hat{d}_3=\sin\theta_1\sin\theta_2\cos \theta_3$, $\hat{d}_4=\sin\theta_1\sin\theta_2\sin\theta_3\cos\theta_4$, $\hat{d}_5=\sin\theta_1\sin\theta_2\sin\theta_3\sin\theta_4$, the non-zero components of the quantum metric tensor are $g_{\theta_1\theta_1}=\frac{1}{2}$, $g_{\theta_2\theta_2}=\frac{1}{2}\sin^2\theta_1$, $g_{\theta_3\theta_3}=\frac{1}{2}\sin^2\theta_1\sin^2\theta_2$, $g_{\theta_4\theta_4}=\frac{1}{2}\sin^2\theta_1\sin^2 \theta_2\sin^2\theta_3$. It can be seen that these diagonal elements are positive.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
