Strong directional disorder in local magnetic moments coupled to a Chern insulator gives rise to topological phases that cannot be continuously connected to the clean limit and are therefore genuinely disorder-driven. We demonstrate this in…

Taking the clue from the modern theory of polarization [R. Resta, Rev. Mod. Phys. {\bf 66}, 899 (1994)], we identify an operator to distinguish between ${\mathbb Z}_2$-even (trivial) and ${\mathbb Z}_2$-odd (topological) insulators in two…
We consider an interface between two strong time-reversal invariant topological insulators having surface states with opposite spin chirality, or equivalently, opposite mirror Chern number. We show that such an interface supports gapless…
We extend the previously defined many-body marker for two-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators [I. Gilardoni {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 106}, L161106 (2022)] to distinguish trivial, weak-, and strong-topological insulators…
