Edge states reveal the nontrivial topology of energy band in the bulk. As localized states at boundaries, many-body edge states may obey a special symmetry that is broken in the bulk. When local particle-particle interaction is induced,…
A formula for the corner charge in terms of the bulk quadrupole moment is derived for two-dimensional periodic systems. This is an analog of the formula for the surface charge density in terms of the bulk polarization. In the presence of an…
We analyze a special separable and chiral-symmetric model with a quantized quadrupole moment, extending the Benalcazar-Bernevig-Hughes model [Science 357, 61 (2017)]. Using nested-Wilson loop formalism, we give an exact expression for…
We propose field theories for the bulk and edge of a quantum Hall state in the universality class of the Haldane-Rezayi wavefunction. The bulk theory is associated with the $c=-2$ conformal field theory. The topological properties of the…

Driven Floquet systems can realize topological phases with no static counterparts. These so-called anomalous Floquet topology breaks the bulk-boundary correspondence based on the Chern number. The number of edge modes in each band gap is…

We describe probes of anti-de Sitter spacetimes in terms of conformal field theories on the AdS boundary. Our basic tool is a formula that relates bulk and boundary states -- classical bulk field configurations are dual to expectation…
We develop an approach to design, engineer, and measure band structures in a synthetic crystal composed of electric circuit elements. Starting from the nodal analysis of a circuit lattice in terms of currents and voltages, our Laplacian…
We theoretically study electronic states in graded-gap junctions of IV-VI compounds with band inversion. Using a two-band model within the ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ approximation and assuming that the gap and the gap centre present linear…
We elucidate that the diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon. Using a discretized diffusion equation, we demonstrate the emergence…
Non-Hermitian Chern insulators differ from their Hermitian cousins in one key aspect: their edge spectra are incredibly rich and confounding. For example, even in the simple case where the bulk spectrum consists of two bands with Chern…
Edge burst is a phenomenon in non-Hermitian quantum dynamics discovered by a recent numerical study [W.-T. Xue, et al, Phys. Rev. Lett 2, 128.120401(2022)]. It finds that a large proportion of particle loss occurs at the system boundary in…

The bulk-boundary correspondence guarantees topologically protected edge states in a two-dimensional topological superconductor. Unlike in topological insulators, these edge states are, however, not connected to a quantized (spin) current…
We introduce a novel gauge-invariant, quantized interband index in two-dimensional (2D) multiband systems. It provides a bulk topological classification of a submanifold of parameter space (e.g., an electron valley in a Brillouin zone), and…
