Popis: One important feature of two dimensional (2D) materials is that they possess an exceptional nonlinear optical (NLO) response to light, with conduc¬tivities that are several orders of magnitude larger than their 3D counterparts. The theoretical descriptions of these NLO responses in crystalline systems in¬volve two different representations of the perturbation: the length and velocity gauges. The former has been the formalism of choice for the past two decades; the latter was implemented only recently, due to concerns that it could not be pratically implemented without breaking sum rules – a set of identities that en¬sure the equivalence between the two formalisms – which would then render the results unphysical. In this work, we shall review and summarize our contri¬butions to the study of the two formalisms and of their relationship by means of the aforementioned sum rules.
