We demonstrate that vacancies can induce topologically protected localized electronic excitations within the bulk of a topological insulator, and when sufficiently close, give rise to one-dimensional propagating chiral bulk modes. We show…
Two-dimensional (2D) model of a weak topological insulator with $N$-stacked Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain is studied. This study starts with a basic model with all the fundamental symmetries (chiral, time-reversal, and particle-hole)…
We present a rigorous but elementary index theory for a class of one-dimensional systems of interacting (and possibly disordered) fermions with $\Uone\rtimes\bbZ_2$ symmetry defined on the infinite chain. The class includes the…
