Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases of matter have been interpreted in terms of anomalies, and it has been expected that a similar picture should hold for SPT phases with fermions. Here, we describe in detail what this picture means…
We discuss the numerical implementation of two related representations of fermionic density matrices which have been introduced in Annals of Physics 370, 12 (2016). In both of them, the density matrix is expanded in a basis of Bargmann…

We study the unitary matrix model with a topological term. We call the topological term the theta term. In the symmetric model there is the phase transition between the strong and weak coupling regime at $\lambda_{c}=2$. If the Wilson term…
We show that one-dimensional quasi-periodic optical lattice systems can exhibit edge states and topological phases which are generally believed to appear in two-dimensional systems. When the Fermi energy lies in gaps, the Fermi system on…

We study the collapse of ultracold fermionic gases into inhomogeneous states due to strong dipolar interaction in both 2D and 3D. Depending on the dimensionality, we find that two different types of inhomogeneous states are stabilized once…
