We propose an alternative formulation of the $Z_2$ topological index for quantum spin Hall systems and band insulators when time reversal invariance is not broken. The index is expressed in terms of the Chern numbers of the bands of the…
Due to the boundary coupling in a finite system, the zero modes of a standard Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model may deviate from exact-zero energy. A recent experiment has shown that by increasing the system size or altering gain or loss…
Non-supersymmetric multi-wall configurations are generically unstable. It is proposed that the stabilization in compact space can be achieved by introducing a winding number into the model. A BPS-like bound is studied for the energy of…

Topological models are characterized by a quantized topological invariant and provide a description of novel phases of matter that can exhibit localized edge states, corner modes, and chiral transport. We experimentally realize two 1-D…

It was demonstrated in [Phys. Rev. E 86, 021104, (2012)], that the ground-state wave functions for a large variety of one-dimensional spin-1/2 models are multifractals in the natural spin-z basis. We present here the details of analytical…
