A path independent measure in order parameter space is introduced such that, when integrated along any closed contour in a three dimensional nematic phase, it yields the topological charge of any line defects encircled by the contour. A…
The concept of free fermion topology has been generalized to $d$-dimensional phases that exhibit $(d-n)$-dimensional boundary modes, such as zero-dimensional (0D) corner excitations. Motivated by recent extensions of these ideas to magnetic…

Non-Bloch topological invariants preserve the bulk-boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian topological systems, and are a key concept in the contemporary study of non-Hermitian topology. Here we report the dynamic detection of non-Bloch…
Discrete vortex, formed by a one-dimensional (1D) ring array of lasers, contains high output power as compared to a conventional continuous vortex, therefore, has attracted considerable interest due to widespread applications in various…
Critical edge states appear at the bulk gap closing points of topological transitions. Their emergence signify the existence of topologically nontrivial critical points, whose descriptions fall outside the scope of gapped topological…
Dynamical quantum phase transitions occur in dynamically evolving quantum systems when non-analyticities occur at critical times in the return rate, a dynamical analogue of the free energy. This extension of the concept of phase transitions…
We study topologically massive (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The masses of the linearized curvature excitations about AdS_3 backgrounds are not only shifted from their flat background values but, more…
Topological insulators are a novel state of matter that share a common feature: their spectral bands are associated with a nonlocal integer-valued index, commonly manifesting through quantized bulk phenomena and robust boundary effects. In…
High-order topological phases of matter refer to the systems of $n$-dimensional bulk with the topology of $m$-th order, exhibiting $(n-m)$-dimensional boundary modes and can be characterized by topological pumping. Here, we experimentally…
Computation of topological charges of the Schwarzschild and charged black holes in AdS in canonical and grand canonical ensembles allows for a classification of the phase transition points via the Bragg-Williams off-shell free energy. We…
Continuum grid-like frames composed of rigidly jointed beams are classic subjects in the field of structural mechanics, whose topological dynamical properties have only recently been revealed. For two-dimensional frames, higher-order…
The vast majority of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) states are difficult to detect, which often leads to their misidentification as ordinary or topologically trivial phases. In this work, we propose a general framework for detecting…
We show how to define a dynamical topological invariant for general one-dimensional topological systems after a quantum quench. Focusing on two-band topological insulators, we demonstrate that the reduced momentum-time manifold can be…

In the framework of the Cartan classification of Hamiltonians, a kind of topological classification of Fermi surfaces is established in terms of topological charges. The topological charge of a Fermi surface depends on its codimension and…
