In recent years, the study of topologically non-trivial structures in one-dimensional models has been dominated by the Su--Schrieffer--Heeger model due to its simplicity in design and its ability to support edge states with robustness to…

We consider the diffraction of time-harmonic plane waves by a periodic structure, governed by the Helmholtz equation. Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are quasi-periodic fields that remain $L^{2}$-bounded over one period and occur at…

We analyze chiral topological edge modes in a non-Hermitian variant of the 2D Dirac equation. Such modes appear at interfaces between media with different "masses" and/or signs of the "non-Hermitian charge". The existence of these edge…
