The edges of a two-dimensional topological phase of matter serve as a platform underlying its low-energy dynamics. The topology of the bulk phase dictates the structure of the gapless modes. Proximitizing boundary modes to another boundary,…
The topology of insulators is usually revealed through the presence of gapless boundary modes: this is the so-called bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the many-body wavefunction of a crystalline insulator is endowed with additional…
It is well known that inversion symmetry in one-dimensional (1D) systems leads to the quantization of the geometric Zak phase to values of either 0 or {\pi}. When the system has particle-hole symmetry, this topological property ensures the…
