Topological insulators can be characterized alternatively in terms of bulk or edge properties. We prove the equivalence between the two descriptions for two-dimensional solids in the single-particle picture. We give a new formulation of the…

Systems that can be described with the same mathematical models that account for the properties of electrons in graphene are known as graphene-like systems. These include magnons, photons, polaritons, acoustic waves, and electrons in…

We use the bulk Hamiltonian for a three-dimensional topological insulator such as $\rm Bi_2 Se_3$ to study the states which appear on its various surfaces and along the edge between two surfaces. We use both analytical methods based on the…

An important characteristic of topological band insulators is the necessary presence of in-gap edge states on the sample boundary. We utilize this fact to show that when the boundary is reconnected with a twist, there are always zero-energy…

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…

One of the hallmarks of topological insulators is the correspondence between the value of its bulk topological invariant and the number of topologically protected edge modes observed in a finite-sized sample. This bulk-boundary…

The bulk-boundary correspondence is a generic feature of topological states of matter, reflecting the intrinsic relation between topological bulk and boundary states. For example, robust edge states propagate along the edges and corner…

We study the edge physics of gapped quantum systems in the framework of Projected Entangled Pair State (PEPS) models. We show that the effective low-energy model for any region acts on the entanglement degrees of freedom at the boundary,…

Topological insulators are unique physical structures that are insulators in their bulk, but support currents at their edges which can be unidirectional and topologically protected from scattering on disorder and inhomogeneities. Photonic…

Topology in condensed matter physics manifests itself in the emergence of edge or surface states protected by underlying symmetries. We review two-dimensional topological insulators whose one-dimensional edge states are characterized by…

The bulk-edge correspondence characterizes topological insulators and superconductors. We generalize this concept to the bulk-corner correspondence and the edge-corner correspondence in two dimensions. In the bulk-corner (edge-corner)…

The bulk-edge correspondence is a condensed matter theorem that relates the conductance of a Hall insulator in a half-plane to that of its (straight) boundary. In this work, we extend this result to domains with curved boundaries. Under…

We prove a general theorem on the relation between the bulk topological quantum number and the edge states in two dimensional insulators. It is shown that whenever there is a topological order in bulk, characterized by a non-vanishing Chern…

Topological insulators are characterized by specially protected conduction on their outer boundaries. We show that the protected edge conduction exhibited by 2-D topological insulators (and also Chern insulators) is independent of…

Two-dimensional higher-order topology is usually studied in (nearly) particle-hole symmetric models, so that an edge gap can be opened within the bulk one. But more often deviates the edge anticrossing even into the bulk, where corner…

We elucidate that the diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon. Using a discretized diffusion equation, we demonstrate the emergence…

Topological insulators feature a number of topologically protected boundary modes linked to the value of their bulk invariant. While in one-dimensional systems the boundary modes are zero dimensional and localized, in two-dimensional…

Transfer matrix methods and intersection theory are used to calculate the bands of edge states for a wide class of periodic two-dimensional tight-binding models including a sublattice and spin degree of freedom. This allows to define…

Although topological phenomena attract growing interest not only in linear systems but also in nonlinear systems, the bulk-edge correspondence under the nonlinearity of eigenvalues has not been established so far. We address this issue by…

We demonstrate that a combination of disorder and interactions in a two-dimensional bulk topological insulator can generically drive its helical edge insulating. We establish this within the framework of helical Luttinger liquid theory and…
