Periodic Hamiltonians on a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice with a spectral gap not only on the bulk but also on two edges at the common Fermi level are considered. By using K-theory applied for the quarter-plane Toeplitz extension, two…

We revisit the problem of classifying topological band structures in non-Hermitian systems. Recently, a solution has been proposed, which is based on redefining the notion of energy band gap in two different ways, leading to the so-called…

Topological charge of families of lattice gauge fields is defined fermionically via families index theory for the overlap Dirac operator. Certain obstructions to gauge invariance of the overlap chiral fermion determinant, as well as the…

We show that a large class of two-dimensional spinless fermion models exhibit topological superconducting phases characterized by a non-zero Chern number. More specifically, we consider a generic one-band Hamiltonian of spinless fermions…

The fermion doubling theorem plays a pivotal role in Hermitian topological materials. It states, for example, that Weyl points must come in pairs in three-dimensional semimetals. Here, we present an extension of the doubling theorem to…

The topological classification of fermion systems in mixed states is a long standing quest. For Gaussian states, reminiscent of non-interacting unitary fermions, some progress has been made. While the topological quantization of certain…

We develop the topological band theory for systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, whose energy spectra are generally complex. After generalizing the notion of gapped band structures to the non-Hermitian case, we classify "gapped"…

We proof the existence of two different topological classes of low-energy k.p Hamiltonians for Chern insulators. Using the paradigmatic example of single-valley two-band models, we show that k.p Hamiltonians that we dub local have a…

We present models of topological insulating Hamiltonians exhibiting intrinsic altermagnetic features, protected by combined three-fold or four-fold rotational symmetries with time-reversal. We demonstrate that the spin Chern number serves…

Two-component fermionic superfluids on a lattice with an external non-Abelian gauge field give access to a variety of topological phases in presence of a sufficiently large spin imbalance. We address here the important issue of…

We classify topological phases of non-Hermitian systems in the Altland-Zirnbauer classes with an additional reflection symmetry in all dimensions. By mapping the non-Hermitian system into an enlarged Hermitian Hamiltonian with an enforced…

We study a wide class of topological free-fermion systems on a hypercubic lattice in spatial dimensions $d\ge 1$. When the Fermi level lies in a spectral gap or a mobility gap, the topological properties, e.g., the integral quantization of…

In the last two decades, a vast variety of topological phases have been described, predicted, classified, proposed, and measured. While there is a certain unity in method and philosophy, the phenomenology differs wildly. This work deals…

Ultracold fermions trapped in a honeycomb optical lattice constitute a versatile setup to experimentally realize the Haldane model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 2015 (1988)]. In this system, a non-uniform synthetic magnetic flux can be engineered…

We review the Pfaffian-based $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariants in one dimensional semiconductor-superconductor (SM-SC) nanowire heterostructures and clarify their validity in finite and disordered systems. For the clean nanowire, the…

We study the behavior of fermion spectral functions for the holographic topological Weyl and nodal line semimetals. We calculate the topological invariants from the Green functions of both holographic semimetals using the topological…

In the continuum, a topological obstruction to the vanishing of the non-abelian anomaly in 2n dimensions is given by the index of a certain Dirac operator in 2n+2 dimensions, or equivalently, the index of a 2-parameter family of Dirac…

We introduce two dimensional fermionic band models with two orbitals per lattice site, or one spinful orbital, and which have a non-zero topological Chern number that can be changed by varying the ratio of hopping parameters. A…

We construct a topological invariant that classifies density matrices of symmetry-protected topological orders in two-dimensional fermionic systems. As it is constructed out of the previously introduced Uhlmann phase, we refer to it as the…

In this paper we link the physics of topological nonlinear {\sigma} models with that of Chern-Simons insulators. We show that corresponding to every 2n-dimensional Chern-Simons insulator there is a (n-1)-dimensional topological nonlinear…
