In Kondo insulators the many-body Kondo lattice effect drives the formation of bands containing heavy charge carriers with a hybridization gap, leading to insulating properties. These renormalized bands can host non-trivial topologies…

We construct a lattice model for a cubic Kondo insulator consisting of one spin-degenerate $d$ and $f$ orbital at each lattice site. The odd-parity hybridization between the two orbitals permits us to obtain various trivial and topological…
