A space-filling function is a bijection from the unit line segment to the unit square, cube, or hypercube. The function from the unit line segment is continuous. The inverse function, while well-defined, is not continuous. Space-filling…

Many properties of photonic structures rely on band topology characterized by the integer invariants that can change during the topological transitions and give rise to the disorder-robust topological edge, corner, or interface states.…
