We review the memoir \emph{heorie der Parallellinien} by Johann Heinrich Lambert, written in 1766. Lambert, a victim of the prejudices of his time, conceived this memoir as an attempt to prove the so-called parallel postulate of Euclid's…
One-dimensional superlattices with periodic spatial modulations of onsite potentials or tunneling coefficients can exhibit a variety of properties associated with topology or symmetry. Recent developments of ring-shaped optical lattices…

For a long time, band theory of solids has focused on the energy spectrum, or Hamiltonian eigenvalues. Recently, it was realized that the collection of eigenvectors also contains important physical information. The local geometry of…
Flat bands in moir\'e superlattices provide a fertile ground for correlated and topological phases, governed by their quantum geometric properties. While the valley-based paradigm captures key features in select materials, it breaks down in…
Topologically engineered optical materials support robust light transport. Herein, the investigated non-Hermitian lattice is trimerized and inhomogeneously coupled using uniform intracell coupling. The topological properties of the coupled…
A hyperbolic lattice allows for any $p$-fold rotational symmetry, in stark contrast to a two-dimensional crystalline material, where only twofold, threefold, fourfold or sixfold rotational symmetry is permitted. This unique feature…
There are two prominent applications of the mathematical concept of topology to the physics of materials: band topology, which classifies different topological insulators and semimetals, and topological defects that represent immutable…
