We consider decaying oscillatory perturbations of periodic Schr\"odinger operators on the half line. More precisely, the perturbations we study satisfy a generalized bounded variation condition at infinity and an $L^p$ decay condition. We…

A weak topological insulator in dimension $3$ is known to have a topologically protected gapless mode along the screw dislocation. In this paper we formulate and prove this fact with the language of C*-algebra K-theory. The proof is based…

In this paper we analyse the behaviour of a pile-up of vertically periodic walls of edge dislocations at an obstacle, represented by a locked dislocation wall. Starting from a continuum non-local energy $E_\gamma$ modelling the…

We study the two-dimensional rotating shallow-water model describing Earth's oceanic layers. It is formally analogue to a Schr\"odinger equation where the tools from topological insulators are relevant. Once regularized at small scale by an…

We elucidate that the diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon. Using a discretized diffusion equation, we demonstrate the emergence…

For certain systems, the N-particle ground-state wavefunctions of the bulk happen to be exactly equal to the N-point space-time correlation functions at the edge, in the infrared limit. We show why this had to be so for a class of…

Finite topologically non-trivial systems are often characterised by the presence of bound states at their physical edges. These topological edge modes can be distinguished from usual Shockley waves energetically, as their energies remain…

As first demonstrated by the characterization of the quantum Hall effect by the Chern number, topology provides a guiding principle to realize robust properties of condensed matter systems immune to the existence of disorder. The…

We provide evidence that, alongside topologically protected edge states, two-dimensional Chern insulators also support localised bulk states deep in their valance and conduction bands. These states manifest when local potential gradients…

Bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases relates the non-trivial topological invariant of the bulk to the number of topologically protected boundary states. Recently, a finer classification of SPT…

Small non-autonomous perturbations around an equilibrium of a nonlinear delayed system are studied. Under appropriate assumptions, it is shown that the number of $T$-periodic solutions lying inside a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \R^N$ is,…

Topological insulators are characterized by specially protected conduction on their outer boundaries. We show that the protected edge conduction exhibited by 2-D topological insulators (and also Chern insulators) is independent of…

The interplay of topology and disorder in non-equilibrium quantum systems is an intriguing subject. Here, we look for a suitable platform that enables an in-depth exploration of the topic. To this end, We analyze the topological and…

We report appearance of non-trivial zero energy corner modes in the form of topological defects (trimers) in a carefully designed 2D crystalline topological insulator. The proposed scenario is developed via an unconventional stacking of 1D…

Topological edge states in gaps of non-Hermitian systems are robust due to topological protection. Using the non-Hermitian Floquet Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, we show that this robustness can break down: edge states may be suppressed by…

A honeycomb array of helical waveguides with zigzag-zigzag edges and a refractive index gradient orthogonal to the edges may support Floquet bound states in continuum (BICs). The gradient of the refractive index leads to strong asymmetry of…

The bulk-edge correspondence (BEC) is the hallmark of topological systems. In continuous (nonlattice) Hermitian systems with an unbounded wave vector, it was recently shown that the BEC of Chern insulators is modified. How would it be…
