The emergence of chiral superconductivity from strongly correlated Mott regimes in purely repulsive, genuinely two-dimensional fermionic systems poses a key challenge, particularly when topology and superconducting long-range order must be…
We propose helical topological superconductivity away from the Fermi surface in three-dimensional time-reversal-symmetric odd-parity multiband superconductors. In these systems, pairing between electrons originating from different bands is…
Topological insulators are substances which are bulk insulators but which carry current via special "topologically protected" edge states. The understanding of long range topological order in these systems is built around the idea of a…

The phenomenon of flat bands pinned to the Fermi surface is analyzed on the basis of the Landau-Pitaevskii relation, which is applicable to electron systems of solids. It is shown that the gross properties of normal states of high-$T_c$…
Nodal lines are one-dimensional topological features of semi-metal band structures along which two bands are degenerate as a result of non-accidental symmetry-protected crossings, and behave topologically as $k$-space vortices in the Berry…
The two-dimensional spin-imbalanced Fermi gas subject to s-wave pairing and spin-orbit coupling is considered a promising platform for realizing a topological chiral-p-wave superfluid. In the BCS limit of s-wave pairing, i.e., when Cooper…
