Integrable boundary conditions in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions are discussed from the higher symmetries point of view. Boundary conditions consistent with the discrete Landau-Lifshitz model and infinite 2D Toda lattice are represented.

We study the effective Bloch-wave scattering of a spinless Fermi gas in one-dimensional (1D) optical lattices. By tuning the odd-wave scattering length, we find multiple resonances of Bloch-waves scattering at the bottom (and the top) of…

Hermitian bipartite models are characterized by the presence of chiral symmetry and by Lieb's theorem, which derives the number of zero-energy flat bands of the model from the imbalance of sites between its two sublattices. Here, we…

We construct a generalized transfer matrix corresponding to noninteracting tight-binding lattice models, which can subsequently be used to compute the bulk bands as well as the edge states. Crucially, our formalism works even in cases where…

Topological defects in Bloch bands, such as Dirac points in graphene, and their resulting Berry phases play an important role for the electronic dynamics in solid state crystals. Such defects can arise in systems with a two-atomic basis due…

We determine conditions on the filling of electrons in a crystalline lattice to obtain the equivalent of a band insulator -- a gapped insulator with neither symmetry breaking nor fractionalized excitations. We allow for strong interactions,…

The concept of equilibrium is a general tool to fill the gap between macroscopic and mesoscopic information, both within kinetic systems and kinetic schemes. This work explores the use of equilibria to devise numerical boundary conditions…

The relationship between bulk and boundary properties is one of the founding features of (Rational) Conformal Field Theory. Our goal in this paper is to explore the possibility of having an equivalent relationship in the context of lattice…

Achieving Bloch oscillations of free carriers under a direct current, a long-sought-after collective many-body behavior, has been challenging due to stringent constraints on the band properties. We argue that the flat bands in moir\'e…
