Popis: We propose that a kind of four-dimensional (4D) Hamiltonians, which host tensor monopoles related to quantum metric tensor in even dimensions, can be simulated by ultracold atoms in the optical lattices. The topological properties and bulk-boundary correspondence of tensor monopoles are investigated in detail. By fixing the momentum along one of the dimensions, it can be reduced to an effective three-dimensional model manifesting with a nontrivial chiral insulator phase. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann equation, we calculate the longitudinal resistance against the magnetic field $B$ and find the negative relative magnetoresistance effect of approximately $ -B^{2} $ dependence when a hyperplane cuts through the tensor monopoles in the parameter space. We also propose an experimental scheme to realize this 4D Hamiltonian by introducing an external cyclical parameter in a 3D optical lattice. Moreover, we show that the quantum metric tensor and Berry curvature can be detected by applying an external drive in the optical lattices.
