Abstract
The connection between moments of the electronic Hamiltonian and topology of a quantum mechanical system is studied. Based on simplifications similar to those usually employed in simple chemical and physical theories, criteria resembling the Hückel rule for cyclic conjugated systems are suggested. Several examples of interest in chemistry and solid physics are discussed. No information on the wave function is necessary in the present approach.
