The surface of a topological insulator is a closed two dimensional manifold. The surface states are described by the Dirac Hamiltonian in curved two dimensional spaces. For a slab-like sample with a magnetic field perpendicular to its top…
The surface states in three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) can be described by a two-dimensional (2D) continuous Dirac Hamiltonian. However, there exists the Fermion doubling problem when putting the continuous 2D Dirac…
We consider two interacting bosons in a dimerized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattice. We identify a rich variety of two-body states. In particular, for open boundary conditions and moderate interactions, edge bound states (EBS) are present…
A chiral symmetric Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain features topological end states in one of its dimerized configurations. Those mid-gap zero energy states show interesting modifications upon a periodic tuning of the hopping modulations.…
We investigate topological phase transitions driven by interaction and identify a novel topological Mott insulator state in one-dimensional fermionic optical superlattices through numerical density matrix renormalization group (DMRG)…
Working in the context of the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger (SSH) model, the effect of topological transitions on the structure and properties of bulk position-space wavefunctions is studied for a particle undergoing a quantum walk in a…
We consider the Bose-Hubbard model on a two-leg ladder under an artificial magnetic field, and investigate the superfluid-to-Mott insulator transition in this setting. Recently, this system has been experimentally realized [M.Atala…
Magnetic oscillations of Dirac surface states of topological insulators are expected to be associated with the formation of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We instead study the conductance of Dirac surface states subjected to an…
e provide a detailed analysis of a topological structure of a fermion spectrum in the Hofstadter model with different hopping integrals along the $x,y,z$-links ($t_x=t, t_y=t_z=1$), defined on a honeycomb lattice. We have shown that the…
Topological insulators are a class of electronic materials exhibiting robust edge states immune to perturbations and disorder. This concept has been successfully adapted in photonics, where topologically nontrivial waveguides and…
It is expected that the interplay between non-trivial band topology and strong electron correlation will lead to very rich physics. Thus a controlled study of the competition between topology and correlation is of great interest. Here,…
A $d$-dimensional second-order topological insulator (SOTI) can host topologically protected $(d - 2)$-dimensional gapless boundary modes. Here we show that a 2D non-Hermitian SOTI can host zero-energy modes at its corners. In contrast to…
Boundary conditions for a massless Dirac fermion in 2+1 dimensions where the space is a half-plane are discussed in detail. It is argued that linear boundary conditions that leave the Hamiltonian Hermitian generically break $C$ $P$ and $T$…
We study the topological phase transition in a two-leg Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) ladder by redefining the unit-cell structure. For both identical hopping dimerization pattern (uniform) and alternate hopping dimerization pattern (staggered)…
The zero-mode corner states in the gap of two-dimensional non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model are robust to infinitesimal perturbations that preserve chiral symmetry. However, we demonstrate that this general belief is no longer valid…
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model serves as a canonical example of a one-dimensional topological insulator, yet its behavior under more complex, realistic conditions remains a fertile ground for research. This paper presents a…
A higher-order topological superconductor can experience topological phase transitions driven by variations in a bulk parameter without closing the bulk gap. This presents a challenge in establishing a direct bulk-boundary correspondence,…
We investigate interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains with two- and three-site unit cells using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations. By selecting appropriate filling fractions and sweeping across interaction…
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is a fundamental lattice model used to study topological physics. Here, we propose a new versatile one-dimensional (1D) lattice model that extends beyond the SSH model. Our 1D model breaks chiral…
It has been shown recently that local four-fermion interactions on the edges of two-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological insulators give rise to a new non-Fermi-liquid phase, called helical Luttinger liquid (HLL). In this work,…
