We generalize the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant of topological insulators using noncommutative differential geometry in two different ways. First, we model Majorana zero modes by KQ-cycles in the framework of analytic K-homology, and we define…
Topological insulators are states of matter distinguished by the presence of symmetry protected metallic boundary states. These edge modes have been characterised in terms of transport and spectroscopic measurements, but a thermodynamic…
We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, the concept of non-linear second-order topological insulators, a class of bulk insulators with quantized Wannier centers and a bulk polarization directly controlled by the level of…
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…
We study the edge and surface theories of topological insulators from the perspective of anomalies and identify a novel Z2-anomaly associated with charge conservation. The anomaly is manifested through a 2-point correlation function…
Topological invariants, such as the winding number, the Chern number, and the Zak phase, characterize the topological phases of bulk materials. Through the bulk-boundary correspondence, these topological phases have a one-to-one…
For a many-body system of arbitrary dimension, we consider fermionic ground states of non-interacting Hamiltonians invariant under a $C_2$ cyclic group. The absolute difference $\Delta$ between the number of occupied symmetric and…
We study the bulk-boundary correspondence for topological crystalline phases, where the crystalline symmetry is an order-two (anti)symmetry, unitary or antiunitary. We obtain a formulation of the bulk-boundary correspondence in terms of a…
The centerpiece of topological photonics is the bulk-boundary correspondence principle (BBCP), which relates discrete invariants of the Bloch bands to the possible presence of interface modes between two periodic heterostructures. In…
The study of the propagation of electrons with a varying spinor orientability is performed using the coordinate transformation method. Topological Insulators are characterized by an odd number of changes of the orientability in the…
The topological pumping [1-3] is revisited from a view point of the bulk-edge correspondence. Shift of the center of mass (CM) as a pumped charge is explicitly given by the Berry connection in time direction. We show that observed pumping…
We demonstrate the existence of topological insulators in one dimension protected by mirror and time-reversal symmetries. They are characterized by a nontrivial $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant defined in terms of the "partial"…
We study the topology of two-dimensional open systems in terms of the Green's function. The Ishikawa-Matsuyama formula for the integer topological invariant is applied in open systems, which indicates the number difference of gapless edge…
In the absence of any symmetry constraints we address universal properties of the boundary charge $Q_B$ for a wide class of nearest-neighbor tight-binding models in one dimension with one orbital per site but generic modulations of on-site…
This paper proposes a quantitative description of the low energy edge states at the interface between two-dimensional topological insulators. They are modeled by continuous Hamiltonians as systems of Dirac equations that are amenable to a…
The bulk-edge correspondence is one of the most important ingredients in the theory of topological phases of matter. While the bulk-edge correspondence is applicable for Hermitian junction systems where two subsystems with independent…
Lattices with a basis can host crystallographic defects which share the same topological charge (e.g.~the Burgers vector $\vec b$ of a dislocation) but differ in their microscopic structure of the core. We demonstrate that in insulators…
As first demonstrated by the characterization of the quantum Hall effect by the Chern number, topology provides a guiding principle to realize robust properties of condensed matter systems immune to the existence of disorder. The…
We introduce a new expression for the Z2 topological invariant of band insulators using non- Abelian Berry's connection. Our expression can identify the topological nature of a general band insulator without any of the gauge fixing problems…
The surface states of intrinsic higher order topological phases are protected by the spatial symmetries of a finite sample. This property makes the existing scattering theory of topological invariants inapplicable because the scattering…
