In the absence of any symmetry constraints we address universal properties of the boundary charge $Q_B$ for a wide class of nearest-neighbor tight-binding models in one dimension with one orbital per site but generic modulations of on-site…
We establish the quantum fluctuations $\Delta Q_B^2$ of the charge $Q_B$ accumulated at the boundary of an insulator as an integral tool to characterize phase transitions where a direct gap closes (and reopens), typically occurring for…
For a wide class of noninteracting tight-binding models in one dimension we present an analytical solution for all scattering and edge states on a half-infinite system. Without assuming any symmetry constraints we consider models with…

In crystalline solids, the electronic polarization follows the \emph{generalized Neumann's principle}, under which all crystallographic point groups can, in principle, support ferroelectric polarization. However, in high-symmetry…
Experimental studies of the transitions from a primary quantum Hall (QH) liquid at filling factor 1/k (with k an odd integer) to the insulator have indicated a ``quantized Hall insulator'' (QHI) behavior: while the longitudinal resistivity…
In this thesis, I study the local charges $\{Q_k\}$ in the one-dimensional Hubbard model, which is an integrable system used for theoretical studies of non-perturbative effects in strongly correlated electron systems. I obtained their…
We study the fractional boundary charges (FBCs) occurring in nanowires in the presence of periodically modulated chemical potentials and connect them to the FBCs occurring in a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of a perpendicular…
The introduction of the infinite boundary terms and the pairwise interactions [J. Chem. Theory Comput., 10, 5254, (2014)] enables a physically intuitive approach for deriving electrostatic energy and pressure for both neutral and…
The topology of insulators is usually revealed through the presence of gapless boundary modes: this is the so-called bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the many-body wavefunction of a crystalline insulator is endowed with additional…
We review recent progress in understanding the notion of locality in integrable quantum lattice systems. The central concept are the so-called quasilocal conserved quantities, which go beyond the standard perception of locality. Two…
In the previous parts of this work, we established the Prequantum Groupoid $\mathbf{T}_\omega$ as the universal geometric container for quantum mechanics. This approach, which we call the "Geometric Quantization by Paths" (GQbP) framework,…
We show that fractional charges can be realized at the boundaries of a linear array of tunnel coupled quantum dots in the presence of a periodically modulated onsite potential. While the charge fractionalization mechanism is similar to the…
We consider quantum interferences of classically allowed or forbidden electronic trajectories in disordered dielectrics. Without assuming a directed path approximation, we represent a strongly disordered elastic scatterer by its…

Traditional ionic/covalent compound insulators arise from a commensuration between electron count and system volume. On the other hand, conventional topological insulators, outside of quantum hall effect systems, do not typically display…

The nature of a metal-insulator transition tuned by external gates in quantum Hall (QH) systems with point constrictions, as reported in recent experiments of Roddaro et al [1], is examined. We attribute this phenomenon to a splitting of…
