We describe a versatile mechanism that provides tight-binding models with an enriched, topologically nontrivial bandstructure. The mechanism is algebraic in nature, and leads to tight-binding models that can be interpreted as a non-trivial…
We present a stability theory for kink propagation in chains of coupled oscillators and a new algorithm for the numerical study of kink dynamics. The numerical solutions are computed using an equivalent integral equation instead of a system…
In this work we consider a model where the potential has two topological sectors connecting three adjacent minima, as occurs with the $\phi^6$ model. In each topological sector, the potential is symmetric around the local maximum. For…
Thouless pumping is a paradigmatic example of topologically protected, directed transport in linear systems. Recent extensions to nonlinear pumps often overlook the need to reassess the conventional framework of linear topology. In this…
In this work we present a new class of real scalar field models admitting strongly interactive kink solutions. Instead of the usual exponential asymptotic behavior these topological solutions exhibit a power-law one. We investigate the…
Real topological phases protected by the spacetime inversion (P T) symmetry are a current research focus. The basis is that the P T symmetry endows a real structure in momentum space, which leads to Z2 topological classifications in 1D and…
The real spectrum of bound states produced by PT-symmetric Hamiltonians usually suffers breakup at a critical value of the strength of gain-loss terms, i.e., imaginary part of the complex potential. On the other hand, it is known that the…
We consider a one-dimensional, time-reversal-invariant system with attractive interactions and spin-orbit coupling. Such a system is gapless due to the strong quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. However, we show…
The aim of this paper is to give new insights about families of integrable systems lifting a Hamiltonian $S^1$-space. Specifically, we study one-parameter families $(M^4,\omega,F_t=(J,H_t))_{0 \leq t \leq 1}$ of systems with a fixed…
We proposed a framework for the topological classification of non-Hermitian systems. Different from previous $K$-theoretical approaches, our approach is a homotopy classification, which enables us to see more topological invariants.…
We study topological lumps supported by the second homotopy group $\pi_2(S^2) \simeq {\mathbb Z}$ in a gauged $O(3)$ model without any potential term coupled with a (non)dynamical $U(1)$ gauge field. It is known that gauged-lumps are stable…
Topological phases supported by quasi-periodic spin-chain models and their bulk-boundary principles are investigated by numerical and K-theoretic methods. We show that, for both the un-correlated and correlated phases, the operator algebras…
In classical spin systems with two largely different inherent time scales, the configuration of the fast spins almost instantaneously follows the slow-spin dynamics. We develop the emergent effective theory for the slow-spin degrees of…
We obtain numerical solutions for rotating topological solitons of the nonlinear $\sigma$-model in three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. Two types of solutions, $i)$ and $ii)$, are found. The $\sigma$-model fields are everywhere well…
In terms of the gauged nonlinear $\sigma$-models, we describe some results and implications of solving the following problem: Given a smooth symplectic manifold as target space with a quasi-free Hamiltonian group action, perform the…
We show that topology can protect exponentially localized, zero energy edge modes at critical points between one-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases. This is possible even without gapped degrees of freedom in the bulk ---in…
