Examples of non-hermitian quantum systems admitting topological insulator phase are presented in one, two and three space dimensions. All of these non-hermitian Hamiltonians have entirely real bulk eigenvalues and unitarity is maintained…
We introduce compactness classes of Hilbert space operators by grouping together all operators for which the associated singular values decay at a certain speed and establish upper bounds for the norm of the resolvent of operators belonging…
Kingman's Theorem on skeleton limits---passing from limits as $n\to \infty $ along $nh$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$) for enough $h>0$ to limits as $t\to \infty $ for $t\in \mathbb{R}$---is generalized to a Baire/measurable setting via a topological…
We study boundary conditions of topological sigma models with the goal of generalizing the concepts of anomalous symmetry and symmetry protected topological order. We find a version of 't Hooft's anomaly matching conditions on the…

Geometric phases play a fundamental role in understanding quantum topology, yet extending the Uhlmann phase to non-Hermitian systems poses significant challenges due to parameter-dependent inner product structures. In this work, we develop…
In our previous work, we introduced McKinsey-Tarski algebras (MT-algebras for short) as an alternative pointfree approach to topology. Here we study local compactness in MT-algebras. We establish the Hofmann-Mislove theorem for sober…

We extend the Gibbs conditioning principle to an abstract setting combining infinitely many linear equality constraints and non-linear inequality constraints, which need not be convex. A conditional large large deviation principle (LDP) is…
We construct families of cell complexes that generalize expander graphs. These families are called non-$k$-hyperfinite, generalizing the idea of a non-hyperfinite (NH) family of graphs. Roughly speaking, such a complex has the property that…

Higher-order topological insulators (HOTI) are a novel topological phase beyond the framework of the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence. In these peculiar systems, the topologically nontrivial boundary modes are characterized by a…
