• Abstract summary: We compute the conductivity tensor $sigma_alphabeta(B,omega)$ in the presence of magnetic field for bands in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions with Berry curvature. We focus then on several applications to magnetotransport for metals with Fermi surface topological transitions in 2D.

• Abstract: Starting with general semiclassical equations of motion for electrons in the presence of electric and magnetic fields, we extend the Chambers formula to include in addition to a magnetic field, time-dependent electric fields and bands with Berry curvature. We thereby compute the conductivity tensor ${\sigma}_{{\alpha}{\beta}}(B,{\omega})$ in the presence of magnetic field for bands in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions with Berry curvature. We focus then on several applications to magnetotransport for metals with Fermi surface topological transitions in 2D. In particular, we consider a rectangular lattice and a model related to overdoped graphene, to investigate the signatures of different types of Fermi surface topological transitions in metals in the Hall coefficient, Hall conductivity ${\sigma}_{xy}$ and longitudinal conductivity ${\sigma}_{xx}$. The behavior of those quantities as a function of frequency, when the electric field is time dependent, is also investigated. As an example of non-zero Berry curvature, we study the magnetotransport of the Haldane model within this context. In addition, we provide the linear and nonlinear electric current formula to order $E^2$.

  We consider a model where a pair of Weyl points reside on the imaginary axis of the complex energy plane, opening up a point gap characterized by a topological invariant. We predict a time-dependent current flow along the magnetic field in the absence of an electric field, in sharp contrast to the current driven by the chiral anomaly. Second, we reveal a novel type of boundary-skin mode in the wire geometry which becomes localized at two corners of the wire cross section.
