We study the spectrum of the 1D Dirac Hamiltonian encompassing the bound and scattering states of a fermion distorted by a static background built from $\delta$-function potentials. We distinguish between "mass-spike" and "electrostatic"…

We show that multiple layered Dirac cones can emerge in the band structure of properly addressed multicomponent cold fermionic gases in optical lattices. The layered Dirac cones contain multiple copies of massless spin-1/2 Dirac fermions at…

Based on the first-principles study, we report a new set of topological semimetals (TiS, TiSe, TiTe, HfS, HfSe, HfTe and ZrS) which show the co-existence of a nodal-ring and triply-degenerate points. The two-fold degenerate one-dimensional…

The spectrum of critical exponents of the $N$--vector model in $4-\eps$~dimensions is investigated to the second order in~$\eps$. A generic class of one--loop degeneracies that has been reported in a previous work is lifted in two--loop…
