We study the critical properties of the in-plane magnetic field-induced quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) plateau transition in axion insulators. Take even septuple layer film MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ as a concrete example, we find the mirror symmetry…
For more than a decade it was widely accepted that two-dimensional electrons are insulating at zero temperature and at zero magnetic-field. Experimentally it was demonstrated that, when placed in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, the…
Within the newly formulated composite fermion hierarchy the filling fraction of a spherical quantum Hall system is obtained when it can be expressed as an odd or even denominator fraction. A plot of $\nu\frac{2S}{N-1}$ as a function of $2S$…
Recent work has extended topological band theory to open, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, yet little is understood about how non-Hermiticity alters the topological quantization of associated observables. We address this problem by studying the…
Experimental data on quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional systems (superconductor-insulator, metal-insulator, and transitions under conditions of integer quantum Hall effect) are critically analyzed.
We study the interplay of quark number density and chiral symmetry in lattice QCD. We suggest that both are controlled by the eigenvalue spectrum of the fermionic propagator matrix, which shapes the pattern of zeros of the partition…
It is well known that bosons on an optical lattice undergo a second-order superfluid-insulator transition (SIT) when the lattice potential increases. In this paper we study SIT when fermions coexist with the bosons. We find that the…
