We investigate elastic periodic structures characterized by topologically nontrivial bandgaps supporting backscattering suppressed edge waves. These edge waves are topologically protected and are obtained by breaking inversion symmetry…
We present the mathematical and numerical theory for evanescent waves in subwavelength band gap materials. We begin in the one-dimensional case, whereby fully explicit formulas for the complex band structure, in terms of the capacitance…
We prove edge universality for a general class of correlated real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrices with arbitrary expectation. Our theorem also applies to internal edges of the self-consistent density of states. In particular,…
We show that resonant frequencies of a system of coupled resonators in a truncated periodic lattice converge to the essential spectrum of corresponding infinite lattice. We use the capacitance matrix as a model for fully coupled resonators…
We define the compact universal cover of a compact, metrizable connected space (i.e. a continuum) X to be the inverse limit of all continua that regularly cover X. We show that such covers do indeed form an inverse system with bonding maps…
We reveal the unique and fundamental advantage of inerter-based elastic metamaterials by a comparative study among different configurations. When the embedded inerter is connected to the matrix material on both ends, the metamaterial shows…
Metagratings have been shown to form an agile and efficient platform for extreme wavefront manipulation, going beyond the limitations of gradient metasurfaces. Previous approaches for transmissive metagratings have resorted on compound…
We prove the existence of measurable invariant manifolds for small perturbations of linear Random Dynamical Systems evolving on a Banach space and admitting a general type of dichotomy, both for continuous and discrete time. Moreover, the…
We establish universality of the renormalised energy for mappings from a planar domain to a compact manifold, by approximating subquadratic polar convex functionals of the form $\int_\Omega f(|\mathrm{D} u|)\,\mathrm{d} x$. The analysis…
We study a general problem how the gap in a nonmagnetic band insulator closes by tuning a parameter. We review our recent results on the classification of all the possible gap closing in two and three dimensions. We show that they accompany…
We study Vassiliev invariants of links in a 3-manifold $M$ by using chord diagrams labeled by elements of the fundamental group of $M$. We construct universal Vassiliev invariants of links in $M$, where $M=P^2\times [0,1]$ is a cylinder…
We show that every plumbing of disc bundles over surfaces whose genera satisfy a simple inequality may be embedded as a convex submanifold in some closed hyperbolic four-manifold. In particular its interior has a geometrically finite…
We study a free quantum motion on periodically structured manifolds composed of elementary two-dimensional "cells" connected either by linear segments or through points where the two cells touch. The general theory is illustrated with…
We study non-positively curved closed manifolds $M$ and $n$-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds of $M \times M$ which satisfy a transversality condition. We prove that, under some mild irreducibility requirements on $M$, if $M \times…
We propose a way -- universal wave function overlap -- to extract universal topological data from generic ground states of gapped systems in any dimensions. Those extracted topological data should fully characterize the topological orders…
By applying the supersymmetric approach we rigorously prove smoothness of the averaged density of states for a three dimensional random band matrix ensemble, in the limit of infinite volume and fixed band width. We also prove that the…
We demonstrate that nontrivial multiband topological invariants of electronic wavefunctions can be revealed through orbital magnetization responses to external magnetic fields. We find that decomposing orbital magnetization into energetic…
Complex band structure generalizes conventional band structure by also considering wavevectors with complex components. In this way, complex band structure describes both the bulk-propagating states from conventional band structure and the…

Kagome lattices facilitate various quantum phases, yet in bulk materials, their kagome flat-bands often interact with bulk bands, suppressing kagome electronic characteristics for hosting these phases. Here, we use density-functional-theory…
