Abstract

We analyze the influence of different bilinear terms giving rise to time-reversal invariant topological insulating phases in monolayer and bilayer graphene. We make use of the effective action formalism to determine the dependence of the Chern Simons coefficient on the different interactions and generalize the formalism to include various degrees of freedom arising in bilayer graphene which give rise to different topological phases.
