We propose several topological order parameters expressed in terms of Green's function at zero frequency for topological superconductors, which generalizes the previous work for interacting insulators. The coefficient in topological field…
Topological insulators are noninteracting, gapped fermionic systems which have gapless boundary excitations. They are characterized by topological invariants, which can be written in many different ways, including in terms of Green's…
This study demonstrates that the zeros of the diagonal components of Green functions are key quantities that can detect non-interacting topological insulators. We show that zeros of the Green functions traverse the band gap in the…
Defects which appear in heterostructure junctions involving topological insulators are sources of gapless modes governing the low energy properties of the systems, as recently elucidated by Teo and Kane [Physical Review B82, 115120 (2010)].…
This work presents a Green's function approach, originally implemented in graphene with well-defined edges, to the surface of a strong 3D Topological Insulator (TI) with a sequence of proximitized superconducting (S) and ferromagnetic (F)…
We construct a Green function, which can identify the topological nature of interacting systems. It is equivalent to the single-particle Green function of effective non-interacting particles, the Bloch Hamiltonian of which is given by the…
This paper discusses the topological and transport properties of binary heterostructures of different topological materials. The creation of multilayer devices is an alternative to building synthetic topological materials. By adjusting the…
We show that the local in-gap Greens function of a band insulator $\mathbf{G}_0 (\epsilon,\mathbf{k}_{\parallel},\mathbf{r}_{\perp}=0)$, with $\mathbf{r}_\perp$ the position perpendicular to a codimension-1 or -2 impurity, reveals the…
This work presents a novel approach to describe spectral properties of graphene layers with well defined edges. We microscopically analyze the boundary problem for the continuous Bogoliubov-de Gennes-Dirac (BdGD) equations and derive the…
The Bloch wave functions have been playing a crucial role in the diagnosis of topological phases in non-interacting systems. However, the Bloch waves are no longer applicable in the presence of finite Coulomb interaction and alternative…
We study topological insulators characterized by the integer topological invariant Z, in even and odd spacial dimensions. These are well understood in case when there are no interactions. We extend the earlier work on this subject to…
The standard boundary state of a topological insulator in 3+1 dimensions has gapless charged fermions. We present model systems that reproduce this standard gapless boundary state in one phase, but also have gapped phases with topological…
The Green function (GF) method is used to analyze the boundary effects produced by a Chern Simons (CS) extension to electrodynamics. We consider the electromagnetic field coupled to a $\theta$ term that is piecewise constant in different…
We characterize gapless edge modes in translation invariant topological insulators. We show that the edge mode spectrum is a continuous deformation of the spectrum of a certain gluing function defining the occupied state bundle over the…
Two-dimensional (2D) topological electronic insulators are known to give rise to gapless edge modes, which underlie low energy dynamics, including electrical and thermal transport. This has been thoroughly investigated in the context of…
The interplay of topological electronic band structures and strong interparticle interactions provides a promising path towards the constructive design of robust, long-range entangled many-body systems. As a prototype for such systems, we…
Here, we develop a gauge-independent Green function approach to characterize the Chern invariants of generic non-Hermitian systems. It is shown that analogous to the Hermitian case, the Chern number can be expressed as an integral of the…
Since the breakthrough of twistronics a plethora of topological phenomena in two dimensions has appeared, specially relating topology and electronic correlations. These systems can be typically analyzed in terms of lattice models of…
The topological properties of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model in the presence of nearest-neighbor interaction are investigated by means of a topological marker, generalized from a noninteracting one by utilizing the single-particle…
We study topology in gapless phases of an interacting spinful model with spin-charge separation. We focus on the gapless boundaries between $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry-breaking phases. We find two topologically non-trivial gapless states that…
