Recently, we have introduced in [A. M. Marques et al., Phys. Rev. B 103, 235425 (2021)] the concept of $2^n$-root topology and applied it to one-dimensional systems. These models require $n$ squaring operations to their Hamiltonians,…
It is known that a two-dimensional spin system can acquire a topological Hopf term by coupling to massless Dirac fermions whose energy spectrum has a single cone. But it is challenging to realize the Hopf term in condensed matter physics…
