a The loop of \(\det (q(k))\) winds around the origin (black dot) in the topological region for a1 = 2, mz = 2.4 and mo = 1.8 as the wavenumber k runs through the reduced Brillouin zone. b The loop of \(\det (q(k))\) passes though the origin (black dot) at at the critical point for a1 = 2, mz = 2.4 and \({m}_{o}=\sqrt{1.76}\). Momentum-space winding number ν in the mo-mz plane for (c) a1 = 2, t  = 1, and ts = 0.95; d t = ts = 1 with (a1a2) = (3, 7); (e) t = ts = 1 with (a1a2) = (2, 5); and (f) t = ts = 1 with (a1a2) = (3, 5). Red dashed curves in (c–f) are phase boundaries solved from the renormalized Zeeman strength.
