Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique materials hosting topologically protected states, whose dimensionality is at least by a factor of 2 lower than that of the bulk. Topological states in such insulators may be strongly…

The discovery of novel topological states has served as a major branch in physics and material science. However, to date, most of the established topological states of matter have been employed in Euclidean systems, where the interplay…
