The momentum space of topological insulators and topological superconductors is equipped with a quantum metric defined from the overlap of neighboring valence band states or quasihole states. We investigate the quantum geometrical properties of these materials within the framework of Dirac models and differential geometry. Their momentum space is found to be always a maximally symmetric space with a constant Ricci scalar, and the vacuum Einstein equation is satisfied in 3D with a finite cosmological constant. For linear Dirac models, several geometrical properties are found to be independent of the band gap, including a peculiar straight line geodesic, constant volume of the curved momentum space, and the exponential decay form of the nonlocal topological marker, indicating the peculiar yet universal quantum geometrical properties of these models.
