A topological anomaly present at zero energy is shown to give rise to a peculiar and singular behavior of the dynamic and static conductivity in two-dimensional honeycomb lattices. A calculation in a self-consistent Born approximation reveals that this singular dependence prevails although being somewhat smoothed out even if level broadening effects are taken into account.
