Abstract
It has been discovered previously that the topological order parameter could be identified from the topological data of the Green's function, namely the (generalized) TKNN invariant in general dimensions, for both non-interacting and interacting systems. In this note, we show that this phenomenon has a clear geometric derivation. This proposal could be regarded as an alternative proof for the identification of the corresponding topological invariant and the topological order parameter.
