Topological Concepts for the Weyl Hamiltonians with the Berry Gauge   Field
  The winding numbers for the even d+1 spacetime dimensional Weyl Hamiltonians are calculated in terms of the related Green's functions. It is shown that these winding numbers result in the divergence of the Dirac monopole fields, hence they are equal to the unit topological charge. It is demonstrated that the winding numbers are also equal to the Chern numbers which are expressed as the integral of the Berry field strength. Explicit calculations are presented for the 3+1 and 5+1 dimensional cases. Relevance of these topological invariants for the physical systems like the semiclassical chiral kinetic theory are discussed.
