Bulk-edge correspondence with generalized chiral symmetry

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2021-06-02 v3 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

The bulk-edge correspondence in topological phases is extended to systems with the generalized chiral symmetry, where the conventional chiral symmetry is broken. In such systems, we find that the edge state exhibits an unconventional behavior in the presence of the symmetry breaking by the mass, which is explored explicitly in the case of a deformed Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. The localization length of the edge states diverges at a certain critical mass, where the edge state touches to the bulk band. The edge state is specified by an imaginary wave vector that becomes real at the touching energy.
